Sometimes I wish you would have hit me because I could take a blow like that and get back up in a minute those scars heal like bandaged paper cuts though they hurt like hell at first, you **** it up your skin covers its own trenches in amazing resilience Sometimes I wish you would have hit me because I could handle a few bruises on my arm over endless nights of hearing your words that cut like knives but the wounds do not go away, they get deeper with time and everything I try to cover them with too, is covered in blood Sometimes I wish you would have hit me because I would not hurt a year after leaving Sometimes I wish you would have hit me I fear the easier one to heal from is a physical beating
