Showing Me Hidden Bruises – Written Thursday 18th November 2010 (Aged 35)

Showing Me Hidden Bruises

i was washing out my life
when you came along
have i told you about the one
who once held me in her arms
and injected me with a madness
one from which –
i never thought i would be free
i was just thinking
when you came along
and decided to sit at my table
sitting there,
holding out your hands
showing me hidden bruises
that, looked not unlike my own
i noticed that our keys looked similar
so, let’s go home
and unlock the front door together
because i was just washing out my life
when you came along
