Bruises of a Fractured Love

All I see waking up is the ceiling fan, Hearing the clicking sound, Feeling pain pulsating thru, Every bone in my body. Trying to remember. Looking down bruises on my arms. Eyes are blurry trying to focus. Barely hearing "Lauren, you're awake" Looking at Cam, What Happened? I see the dread in her eyes. Cam I can't remember. Lauren he was beating you. All my feelings, emotions not believing, What I'm hearing. Now I remember that quote, Those closest to you will always hurt you. All because I broke up with him.

Hello Okiegirlsrock, yes the one we love hurts us. Mine was cheating. Being beaten is worse. the reason because the person broke off with them! it is okay to break off with the person if the relationship is not working out. Merry Christmas. Hugs.

Hello Okiegirlsock, it was like that with my father. So I understand what you went through. Yes it is worse than the other. It is part of my past. I see it as the past is gone. I have let it go and it is gone. Merry Christmas.

The whole idea is supremise that you wake up and see bruises all over your arms and you have no memory whatsoever of what happened. The one quote that I always remember is those close to you will always hurt you. I was verbally abused which in my opinion is worse than be physically abused the bruises always go away but the scars inside your heart will never ever go away.
