Abuse

How dark is night I can’t see the dawn I sit and I bleed But always live on It hurts at first It always does But my body goes numb All the pain is gone My body aches My wounds bleed I can’t think I can’t see They beat me And they swear I thought they loved me But they don’t care Many see the cuts Abrasions and bruises I silently cry out Though none offer help I slink away Into a corner I hide my eyes And cover my ears I don’t want to see What pain you’ll bring I cannot cry The tears that sting
