Bruises

• Artist: damon29
• Description: She was torn down, she was unloved. She thought no one noticed her, she thought everyone was like he was. But she didn't know I thought of her every second of every day. If only she had thought of me as much I did her, then maybe she would've dropped the pistol.

He comes home.
Another bad day.
He reaches for the six packs,
To drive the pain away.

She's home from school.
Her raw skin is still sore.
She prepares for more.

He rounds on her.
Empty bottles litter the floor.
His shouts echo off of them.

She falls to the floor
As he lets out his day.
She learned long ago not to cry.
It is over.
She has endured it for the day.
She walks to her room to check the damage.

She leads a bruised life.
Tomorrow will be the same.
She accepts it.

this is a true story. if you read the description it makes sense.

It's beautifully written with such a blunt honesty....I don't know what else to say but it's touching.
