My every bruise mounted up wisdom.

-

it bruises up more on the inside
in silence
than in chaos.

-

You entered
like poison
and exited as
an indispensable potion.

-

I knew
you were the one
when I felt
the urge
to run away...

Cause' you
reeked of love
a tad too much
for my bruised heart
to breathe in!

-

With the bruises and blows of your memories,
My heart has turned black and blue...
Yet it keeps me breathing in an inflamed hope
That my shattered dreams may some day come true.

-

Sometime when you come across one,
watch a kid sleep on a bike ride with a parent.
Careless, fearless and soundly into a dream they'd be.
Hands circled loose or hanging lazily mostly.
Because s/he knows they wouldn't be let down.

That's how absolute was my trust on you,
and I'm now bruised, lying on a road.

-

I was raised a warrior
Knowing nothing of being a princess
My path had serrated edges
Bruised me, bleeding my being
The beauty of the fragile soft face
wasn't mine to claim
My charm was in my strength and skills
that walked me over battlegrounds
And though I saw her delicately sliding
through an awe-struck audience,
I was all I wanted to be.

-

He was a bruise, not a tattoo.
Don't ever forget that.
ꃳꁝ꒤꒯꒤

-

I have seen the birth
of a scar that grows
heavy like a sea,
The depth you can perceive,
But can't measure the bruise.

-

the slightest bruise
hurts the most remembering
how hard you tried to fight
and how you'll keep that up.
