Broken and Bruised

Laughter escapes her pretty lips

She thinks she's so happy to be his

What is a promise made by this man

She ponders and stares at the ring on her hand

They've been together

But does this mean forever?

 

When the red dress tore

When the ribbons and bows feel to the floor

When the lights came on

When she ran out the door

When the tears fell like rain

She said never again

Will I be used

I am broken and bruised

 

Alone in a dark,empty room

Her heart is sealed like a tomb

With a pale face and cold hands

She grasps and reaches,trying to understand

Who she is and where she's been

What's been bruised and what's been broken

 

The cuts heal and scars fade with time

The blood washes away and it looks fine

From where they stand and stay

It's safe for the memories to fade away

She can almost see the blue sky

Till the sun sets suddenly and its night

 

Never again

Tears fell like rain

Can't find the ribbons and bows

No one seems to know

How to define together

And why there is no forever
