Turn your head,

Don't look at me.

You're not to know,

You're not to see

Those marks he

Left upon my skin.

A secret curse,

A jagged pin.

x

Your eyes watch mine,

I look away.

I have no idea

What to say

To explain that cut

And how I got that bruise.

You question and question

'Till I'm so confused.

x

Why do you care?

What's it to you?

Why my shirt is torn

And my cheek is blue.

It's nothing compared

To how I feel inside.

The hurt's so deep.

I just want to hide.

x

Turn your head,

Don't look at me.

You're not to know,

You're not to see

Please shut your eyes

And turn around.

Just pretend that I

Never made a sound…
