Bruises of love

There’s a line in each stanza that describes different issues in a relationship. See if you can find them all!

I put the red and blue together
Obtaining shade that u so like.
Make it as bright as blooming heather,
Bring to your feet- you look for spikes.

You’re safe with me. Don’t search for evil.
Won’t let a soul split us apart.
I’ll stab whoever hurts ur spirit,
You’d make me spirit- stab my heart.

I treasure every single effort
Although the effort scarifies.
If bliss takes tears and to be patient,
Then I must stay. Make sacrifice.

Collecting flowers for your tune.
What you gift me? The grass? the trees?
I know we both like nature’s hues,
So I await your fondness breeze.

With you, a cactus would be heaven
But plants must be not quite your tier.
To show abysmal love, I reckon,
You’d rather put it on my skin.

You wanted me to have forever
Our favorite tones scarred through my blood.
Where used to kiss your gentle linger,
The vessel broke- it hurts to palp.

Look down, you painted me in palette.
And suddenly my body’s art.
Somehow, I feel each aching violet
As if you nailed it to my arm.

Why did I bear your love in bruises?
How could I let you deep inside?
Forgive, forget all your excuses.
I wipe your tears that drowned my pride.

The killers now don’t kill just strangers,
They make you friends and take your trust.
In their embrace you fear no danger
While They hold shiv covered in rust.

Forgive, forget? How will I learn?
In this sick cycle I’m a bate.
What do I call repeated nightmare?
Bad deja vu or tragic fate?

Author's Note

What do you think of the imagery and the way it hints at the main topic? I like to use nature symbolism to hide darker themes in the poem, so it’s not too provocative but is still obvious if you put thought in it. I tried to make it as clear as possible without totally ‘saying the words’ and directly revealing the topic but please let me know if the tiptoeing is confusing.
