Abuse

i could show you the wing tips under my eyes
and bruises of every shape and size
i could show you scars on my arms and feet
and puckered flesh from searing heat
i could show you the stripes on my back
and files that fill a sack
full of headlines that decree
what was done to me
the violence of my house that is plain to see
but i'll show you one
a love bite on my breast
and you'll realize
how heartless he truly is.

Thank you, Advaita.The idea was how love bites can be pleasure and pain, depending on consent and the lack of it.
