BRUISED

Have you ever thought,

that I could have a life, fall in love ?

Not to think of it,

You are a selfish person.

It is always about you,

I am never in this picture.

Although, I have always wished to be in one.

But you never gave me a chance,

If you did,

I would be a happy person.

A photograph of us being happy,

Just hanging there on the wall.

Now, you are just a stranger to me.

I wish we talked more often,

But you never let me in...

When you are against me,

Who else would stand by my side.

I thought you are my partner in crime,

My shield, My best friend.

But you don't care,

Do you?

I am just caught in a fishing net,

trapped in the water.

The waves are pushing me under,

And I cannot do breathe anymore.

You pushed me in there,

You left me in there to die.

I drowned cause I cannot swim.

I wish you left me dead there but you made me suffer,

alcohol and sulfur were burning my skin,

Just like your words.

Stabbing me right in my chest.

I thought you would lend a helping hand,

But you walked away instead.

I thought you are my imaginary friend,

But in the end you were just a fraud.

I thought,

You were there for me.

I thought,

I had a friend.

Now I carry heavy shackles,

On my wrist and on my neck.

I wish someone heard me cry,

My silent cry.

But no one really cares,

Of the bruises you left me with.

Now I am purplish blue.

I am so numb.

I thought you understood me better than anyone.

*sobs heavily*

But you bruised me,

You left me bruised.

I cannot breathe.

You hurt me.
