Author's note: This is my second poetry for Eastenders/Chryed, I wanted to do something that related to the actual show. Thank you all! Hope you enjoy.

You touch my face with tender, loving care,

Oh, how I wish your hand could remain there,

So I can't see how bad it looks,

When I face a mirror – not medical books,

The blotch purple bruises all across my body,

And you are whispering softly "How dare He! How could He?",

My split cheek is achingly painful,

So I try not to grimace when I try too hard to smile,

You take my hand and tell me it's OK,

Scrubbing lightly as you can to wash the blood away,

When I ask you to kiss it better,

You tell me I just don't listen,

And when you slam the door,

My eyes begin to glisten.
