~bruised~

[neverwas]

i wish i could take your pain away,
remove the bruises he put there and
help you see the rest of your day.
but i struggle to put two words together as you tell me about your horrible ordeal.
of how he broke and battered you.
how you bleed because of him,
and how no one heard your fright in your squeal.

two times to many
the first should of been the last.
blinded by love and deaf from affection
now a with a broken nose and a broken thumb
i make you laugh and smile
just so you dont look glum.

make-up caked on everywhere
wont hide what i can see through.
the broken window and glass shrewn everywhere
blood dried on ur face you didnt wash off.
tangles and knots all through your hair.

i lost count of how many bruises you have.
they will heal quickly but mentally i highly doubt.
you told me of your true love
how he suddenly snapped.
not drunk but sober
which is what got you real scared.
you've been together for what seems like forever.
but breaking the chains is now whats needed
time to pick up dust your wings off
time to move on.

the fake smile we wear when both behind the bar
doesnt hide how much i know your hurting.
how you seem to be searching,
for reasons of why, reasons of how come.

i tell you you deserve better than that
i give you a hug as i leave you at work.
realising that still i hardly know you
but i know that everyone deserves to be happy.
everyone deserves to be able to smile.
work shouldnt cost you the ones you love.
no one deserves to be beaten
no matter what the race or what their reason.

bruises fade through time.
time heals all broken and torn wounds.
so i take on your hurts and tears
you are my new responsibilty
because friends are there for each other
this is something that you needed to see.

i can't believe i missed this, even though it had only fallen to page two. i know this is probably a personal poem, written for a friend, but oh my god.

i have a friend in the exact same situation. if you don't mind i'm going to send her this poem (along with one i wrote) so she knows she is not alone in the world, and that others have had to suffer as she.

*HUGS*

i wrote somthing similar...

these marks on your skin
will heal with time
it is the marks on the inside
i'll help you to close.

...but yours was much better written.
