I don’t need to love you
this love is vague and unreal
you’ve caused too many wounds and cuts
and make more before the others heal

the scratches are by accident
things you don’t mean to do
they cover my arms, but do not hurt
scratches made by you

bruises are your words
my stomach and my shoulders ache
I see you go again to strike me
oh how much more will I take?

slashes are your doings
motions and hate combined
hold me down, press against me
you think I do not mind
-but life hurts

the scratches on my face
will never go away
the bruises on my back
seem to grow every day

the slashes with the daggers
glaring eyes have yet to make
pierce deep into my side
you made this world by hate

you scratched me with your nails
bruises by every punch and slap
the slashes are knives and scissors
how did I want you back?

the tiny scratches cover
my arms down to my thighs
you cause them when I hurt
even through my tiny sighs

the bruises constrict me
it's hard for me to breathe
I find a rest inside my hurt
feeling painful ease

but the open wounds can be felt
from every glance you shoot my way
I feel the tears rushing on
afraid to tell you what I need to say

life so full of misery
since you entered in to me
I've tried so hard to go around
but I found it not that easy

my cuts and nicks are fading
the bruises continue to spread
you continue throwing daggers
and soon I will be dead

So continue leaving marks
until bloodless is your goal
you will see me lifeless
a fraction of a whole
