Secrets and Bruises

April 1, 2020


Her bruise could not be seen
Even she 
could not see 
it's dark nails tearing apart 
her heart
Please take heed 
For this haunting feeling she carries
Will make you buckle 
to your knees
She harbors it 
keeping it secret 
from the world
Not one person will pry it from her
For she has carried it too long
And though it longs 
to be freed
and the weight lifted off of her
She holds onto this everlasting voice
Its barking orders, she will conform to 
Tell no one it says listen to me it says
So she will bottle it up 
It will fester and smolder until all it becomes 
is a bruise on her heart
