bruised cheeks

bruised cheeks

A Poem by DecentlyOkayWriter

a hushed whisper
you said something you shouldn't have
bruised cheeks and regret

hands shaky, face wet
metaphorical forgiveness
you're lying, aren't you?

a smokey silhouette
terror feels like something
but it's been forgotten

how sweet

There's underlying sadness in this and clear signs of abuse. To infer is often more powerful than coming right out and saying it.

No nonsense in this.

Nice job.
