Tears

A Poem by Dark and Mysterious

Salty water slips down when no bruise outside 'cause the real bruise lies deep inside...

Pain inflicted

Beaten down

Tattered and broken

Never made a sound

Abused, cheated

Bruised and tortured

But still strong

Never showed any feeling

Braved it all

But a few harsh words

Scarred her heart

A tear escaped

She felt pain

It was her secret

For only her to know

'Cause the world didn't know

That she had a heart...

Short yet poignant.

I believe this poem could describe a vast majority of people. There are many forms of abuse, too many victims to count in this world. Every day sees that list grow larger and larger.

We all have hearts. Sometimes though we are forced to cut them out and put them somewhere free of pain. Unfortunately, if we leave them there too long, it ends with us being the ones to inflict familiar pains on the new batch of victims.

Quite thought provoking.
