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
