You wouldn't understand.

by ElegantlyWasted   Apr 2, 2005


Can you see her blackened face,
And the cuts upon her lip?
Can you feel the stinging pain,
Or the heaving when she's sick?

Can you taste her guilty tears,
Because he hit her again?
Can you take away the hurt,
That is driving her insane?

Can you stop him belting her,
With straps across her knees?
Can you make him rot in hell,
For ignoring her innocent pleas?

Can you see her shaking,
With fear that runs so deep?
Can you feel her slashing,
To see that black blood seep?

Can you feel his cold words,
Slice across her fragile heart?
Can you watch the beatings,
That slowly tear her apart?

No ... But,

I can see you reaching,
To try and grab my hand
But this pain is killing me,
And you would never understand.

+I don't get this ... I'm just in the mood of reflecting on things or something+

    It took me a moment to understand what the last stanza was saying. Very interesting how you approached this, i got from it that someone, or even yourself, is grabbing your hand so you refrain from cutting any deeper. I bet at least 5 people are grabbing your hand just from this site alone.
    Much love and great poem.
    Your friend,
