He handed love in  bruises, kindness came in loads. Every time he touched me, a part of me implodes. "Face the other way." "Can they come and watch us?" Muffled screams in pillows, a spreading chain of blotches. A paradox of feelings, 'cause I wasn't treated fragile; but I'd never felt so broken, and never faced something so hostile. -tdf

Tough Love
He handed love in  bruises, kindness came in loads. Every time he touched me, a part of me implodes. "Face the other way." "Can they come and watch us?" Muffled screams in pillows, a spreading chain of blotches. A paradox of feelings, 'cause I wasn't treated fragile; but I'd never felt so broken, and never faced something so hostile. -tdf
