The bruises littering my skin-

They vary in size and colour.

They vary in place.

They vary in how painful they are.

Like the bruises you hurt me when I least expect it.

Unlike the bruises you don't give me a short sharp pain.

Your pain is deep.

Your pain is emotional.

Your pain targets the same place over and over.

I should have learned by now.

But I haven't.
