Mental Abuse.
Physical Abuse.
You attempted to romanize it,
but you can't romanize it.
Trauma is trauma.
You stood in the mirror.
Staring at your body.
Bruises running along your stomach.
You felt the warm tears fall down your face.
Immediately wiping them off and pulling in your shirt.
You sat on the edge of the tub.
Attempting to make another excuse.
Trying to tell yourself he didn't know.
He wasn't doing this on purpose.
You used all your possible excuses.
You tripped.
You burned yourself.
You hit the pool wall.
You dropped your phone.
Ran into the wall.
Ran into the chair.
Fell downstairs.
They began to get unbelievably.
You would have to tell him,
but would he believe you.
Or maybe you actually had to leave.
Attempt to leave. It wasn't healthy.
