Hidden Bruises

The bruises you leave 
are hidden inside,
where only your eyes
can see
and others not realize
the depth of your
emotional depravity
flowing through my veins
like blood 
upon which you feed
until I am drained
and you move on.

It is horrible and happens more often than we like to admit.

Like Sara commented. Abuse, in any form, makes my Missouri blood boil.
