Black and Blue

Black and blue. Looking in the mirror, those black and blues spread on my body , those black and blues some dark, some light those black and blues he said I deserve them, those black and blues he said its my fault, those black and blues Scraped knee and a cut lip too everything I could have avoided, I could have walked away instead I decided to stay Kill my ego, integrity, everyday Everything will be fine, I know, I pray Pretty soon, I m wearing a gown, navy blue Laughing, his hand in mine leaning on him, Dancing, drinking, everything so old now It will never happen again I know Can't dance to the fullest, my body still hurts, those black and blues…..
