Black and Blue

He hits your face,

The flesh, it swells,

You have no place,

You're never well.

You see the bruise,

You grasp the knife,

Nothing to lose,

You want to end your life.

You cut the skin,

The steel bites deep,

Forgive this sin,

The timeless sleep.

You're covered in,

The black and blue,

Caused by your kin,

You always knew.

He hit your face,

The frlesh, it swelled,

You had no place,

You were never well.
