Hiding The Bruises

Contributed by Kie-Kie on Sunday, 12th December 2004 @ 09:04:00 PM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse



Turn out the lights
I live for the night
Because no one else can see me cry
And I don't have to lie
I don't have to hide
My bruises for your pride
And I don't have to fake
That my heart doesn't break
With every punch and hit
Like I've doen something to deserve it

Another story for my friends
A lie so they won't worry
About teh way that you treat me
So bruises heal, quick, hurry!

"Just another scratch"
"We're still a perfect match"
"I got that a week ago"
Just so no one else will know
The things you put me through
The things you seem to make me do
To hurt myself a little more
Than what you did a few minutes before
Just because I was a little late
For a meeting, a dance, or a date

Another story for my friends
A lie so they won't worry
About teh way that you treat me
So bruises heal, quick, hurry!

Secrets that I'm forced to keep
And all alone I sit and weep
Because I can't tell a soul
About how, daily, you lose control
About the o*****less, pointless fights
That leave me begging for longer nights
So I won't have to hear your apologies
After you'v ebeaten me onto my knees
SO that I must constantly pray
That I'll make it through the next day

Another story for my friends
A lie so they won't worry
About teh way that you treat me
So bruises heal, quick, hurry!

this is so sad..
who ever this person is I pray they know they are breaking the law.
Call 911 and get help before u end up like Nicole Simpson.
They have shelters that will keep u till you can get back up on your feet and mostly they protect u from the pertraitor of this awfull crime.
Forgive me for being so blunt but I do know what verbal abuse is. You may think u deserve it but like the other comment no on deserves that kindda treatment.
luv, hugg, faith, hope, strength,
emy

Do you understand battered and abused and beaten to death? If you stay with this perverted person you will end up dead. You need to get away and get away quickly. There are people out there that will help you and get you to safety. No one deserves to be treated like this.

One word ENOUGH and mean it. I don't know if this is about you or a friend.
No matter who it is for it is time to say goodbye.
Self esteem becomes at its lowest and hey that's how they like it. The weaker you are the more control they have. The more you submit the more they feel they have the power to play you like a puppet.
Girl loose him he don't deserve love if he is abusing it. What gives anyone the right to hurt someone like this. Maybe a brother or friends should have a quite word with him man to man so to speak.

Love Sweetangelukxxxx

In another world when your away from him. The pain of knowing that you have to go home. I know how that feels. your poem touched me deeply and brought out memories. ever need to talk I am here. easy to talk to someone who has been where you are.

I can relate all too well to that one. Very emotional, powerful. An important release of pent up emotions. I hope for your sake that situation is in your past...
