Dark black circles
Around her eyes,
With bluish bruises on her arms
Yet know one knew
The tears never came
For everyone to see
But that doesn’t mean
That they weren’t there
She wore a long black shirt
To cover her arms
But a short black skirt as
To make up for lost skin
Her eyes were painted black
With eyeliner so thick
It was painful to look at
And her skin was just white
Her blue eyes
Seemed to sparkle for all to see
It looked like she knew something
But she would never tell
The secrets just lingered
But no one would know
And yet she was beautiful
Everyone would turn
And everyone would stare
They didn’t understand her
They didn’t even try
But then one day
Someone looked not through her
But actually into her eyes
And they knew
She was speaking it
Crying it
And saying it all aloud the entire time
Just in wayes that no one knew
Or wanted to read
And so they did
And finally
Finally she was able
To be free
Free from the person
That she would bound into be
Safe And loved
