Black and Blue

I look at you

then I look at me

sometimes I start to wonder

what you see

x

I'm nothing special

I'm not like you

but we go together

like one and two

x

I look in the mirror

and all I see

are scars and bruises

which make up me

x

But you like me

for what's inside

even when I think about

suicide

x

You always look out for me

so I wasn't left behind

you were always there for me

all the times I cried

x

All I saw were battle wounds

all I saw were scars

all I saw were the bloody tears

made by iron bars

x

But you looked passed that

what you saw was true

you saw me on the inside

you saw my black and blue

x

I felt so low

like no one cared

like no one loved me

I was always scared

x

But you gave a home

and you gave me love

you care for me

like I get from above

x

You looked after me

like no one ever did

you've been there for me

ever since I was a kid

x

I want to thank you

for all you've done

and maybe I will

see you above

x
