Black and Blue
BLACK & BLUE
are the colors that
you turn to
like the others that
he once knew
when he met you
and let loose
where you find
he is not so
nice a guy
truth or dare
it's a lie
every time
he'll apologize
promising
he will not
do it again
till he raises his
angry hand
low on promise
high on demand
still, you stay
with no plans to
run away
but will you
survive the day
his fits of rage
who's to say
where he leaves you
with no clue
every time he
backhands you
will you even
make it through
the next round of
pity you
BLACK & BLUE
