And do you feel more like a man When you strike her beautiful cheek With your hand wide open, leaving a mark That turns bright red instantly, and will soon Turn into just one of the many other bruises She has to cover up with makeup, it's a struggle Every morning, the more bruises you give her The earlier she has to wake up so she has Time to cover them all before she makes you breakfast For if it's not at the right time, another bruise will find its Way onto her lovely body, you leave them all over her Her face, neck, hips, wrists, and even legs, Do you really even see what you are doing? Have you noticed how the light in her eyes Has vanished ever since the bruises started Appearing. “You know I love you right?” You say After each time, shes starting to believe it less and less And I cant wait for the day when she's brave enough to Leave you, you are a disease, infecting every single Part of her being, and she deserves so much better than you She should be put on a the biggest pedestal, and you are Incapable of doing that. I can't wait for the day when she leaves you So tell me, do you still feel like a man?

Bruises
I wake up today already feeling melancholy today is the day you are leaving for your dream job I should be happy for you right? but instead i told you it's time to end things between you and I I told you the distance was too much, I couldn't handle it but I'm laying awake in bed and all my thoughts are filled with you and your warm brown eyes, your dashing smile they way you make me feel so alive and happy like nothing bad could ever happen to me and I've come to a conclusion, as I've spent the last hour thinking about you, the distance is no match for how much I will miss you, I hurry as fast as I possibly can so I can catch you before you leave on your train I speed through the traffic and arrive 10 mins before the train should depart, I push my way through people trying to find where you should be, and suddenly in the blur of everything I catch a glimpse of your ebony hair, I change my course and now I'm running straight for you I catch your wrist just in time, for you were just about to board and you would have been gone forever, your warm eyes immediately look down to me, like you were expecting me, we stand there staring at each other for what feels like hours, I take a deep breath and I breathlessly say “It's you” as I look deep into your loving gaze, returning it “explain, what changed your mind” you say in return, I have to think what did change my mind? “ you see, the distance is no match for how much I would miss you” I say, you look as if you will start crying “thank you” you say, “because I would miss you so much more because I’m in love with you” and I know that I’m in love with you too maybe even more
