Blue

Lashes unleashed leave
    Welted wounds scattered
Blue body battered

Tender to the touch
    broken blistering skin
Blue seen within 

A bruised body heals 
    But a broken mind always feels 
Blue bruises everywhere 

Lay

Hello Walayee,... great poem as usual -- no one would ever really know how true this is except those who have felt and still feel it. Keep writing! ; ) your friend, Bob
