Bruises and Scars

It started with a couple of slaps.

It went on to a couple of stabs.

And you still get madder.

I bet it's about to escalate to murder.

Punches on my cheeks.

I be crying for weeks.

Baby my heart is leaking.

But my love for you is still peaking.

Bruises and scars,

Excuses for spas.

Day and night you're drunk and furious.

What went wrong? baby i'm curious.

Lacerations and broken bones baby why?

When is it gonna stop? i guess when i die.

You got me down on my knees

Begging for my life i said Please!

Fake smiles masquerading my broken soul.

I'm tired Dear God please take my soul.

Bruises and scars!
