45 Lashes

With 45 lashes it had all just begun...

45 lashes, at first it was fun.
yet lash after lash
He struck harder and harder.
with each increasing lash He struck her to the core.

Her body begining to yeild
The pain beginning to fill...
Her tears streamed down her cheeks.
As He reached 45 He stoppped abruptly.

Her body was hot,
The pain a coursing,
The welts rising,
Her mind was clearing...

She would have takenmore,
Should He have deemed,
Yet on this day she knew it was only the beginning.

For with 45 lashes...
He had only JUST begun.
