Invisible Bruise
The bruise is invisible.
But I know it's there.
I don't care.
I know I deserved it.
I pushed you to a limit.
Jekyll & Hyde came out to play.
And your fist connected with my tender skin.
I deserved it.
Even if (maybe) I didn't.
I don't care.
I know what I did.
I purposedly pushed you to a limit.
So now I have an invisible bruise to mark my mistake.
I will not cry a tear.
I will not rub my arm of it's pain.
I will not mention that it hurts.
I will let it pass.
And then I will forgive & forget.
Cause I know I deserved it.
I deserved it so much that a bruise does not even make a guest appearence.
No sign of abuse here.
No, not one in the least.
I don't have a mark on me.
Except the self-inflicted ones of course.
So obviously I must have--
I had to have--
There's no other explaination--
Except that I--
Obviously,
completely,
whole-heartedly
Deserved it.

Thank you for comparing it to Sylvia Plath, that's a huge compliment for me. She's one of my favorite poets. Thank you for reading and I'm glad you liked it.
