Marks

That one is starting to get ugly.

  It will probably take a few weeks to fade.

From the start,

 I am not talking about any form of abuse.

I feel I should make that clear.

I miss things.

It irritates me.

I don't notice the wound,

 I notice the blood.

In other words,

 I have to try to catch up.

I watch a bruise forming,

 and by past history,

it will grow worse.

I don't feel anything.

It hasn't broke through.

I realize this is hard for some to understand.

Some of us live in a constant state of pain.

It takes something special to catch your attention.
