The marks you left behind after the bruises faded A flinch at a hesitant touch Afraid to be alone with someone Afraid to be touched in a hug It isn't on purpose I swear I just panic at touches even by family From what you left when the bruises had healed over
Don't be afraid to walk out. Don't be afraid to put yourself first. The marks left behind might never heal but it is better then staying in a relationship that only harms you.
