"Bruises"

on the spot; cole

and then he says

what he says

and i feel

so 

small

like someone waiting

for

ever

for

their

life

to open

and find the truth

the truth

they lost

the

truth

i 

lost

when i lost

what i lost

and my heart tore

right

open

now

all i see

is the smoke

from the fire

i breathe

no one

will 

understand

my pain

the

pain

i worked

so 

hard

for

to get where i am

now.
