abuse

abuse

Upon this body

You never left a mark

That would be worthy

Of remark

Is there exception

Or reason why

Some kind of explanation

That I cry

The rending hurt

An endless pain

Wondering thoughts

Of insane

You never rose

You never swung

But for lack of a bruise

Does that excuse

Flinching moments

The unyielding fear

So much lost

To endless tears

Not a single slash

Not a single bruise

Not a shred of evidence

Of abuse
