Kick It Again
Kick It Again - meaning Summary
Love Surviving Repeated Abuse
The poem voices a speaker addressing a lover who repeatedly betrays and abuses their affection. The refrain urges the partner to "kick it again," tauntingly noting that each cruelty wounds but does not yet extinguish love. The tone mixes wounded vulnerability with defiant resilience: the relationship is damaged and gasping, yet the speaker makes clear that love persists despite mistreatment, even as continued harm threatens its end.
