How bad should it hurt for it to be love?

Question

As night draws near I hide in fear

Covering the dark circles that shade my eyes.

I can’t cry when you’re near

because I’m afraid that you’ll hear

so I pretend it doesn’t hurt

when you treat me like dirt,

telling them lies

when they ask about the marks on my legs and thighs.

Sweating through the summer heat as I hide behind a veil of deceit

Trying to cover the marks from your strikes

That holler for our secret to come to light.

Sometimes people stop and stare

asking why my eyes are red

but I can’t answer them for fear that one day

I might make him really mad and end up dead.

These wounds won’t shut up.

F.U.C.K.!

What can I do I’m too scared.

So I just pull my sweater lower to silence their screams

As I continue to pretend that this is all a dream

Morning is coming before long

Soon this pain will be all gone.
