bruised and knowing

I felt the security of his arms
drip like the tears from my eyes
his anger hot against my skin-
the skin that was devoted to him...
so this is what its come to-
my body and pride cowering on the floor
and all this time I've been the one to pick him up
the one to endure the words
that devoured my dreams of happily ever after
I feel dirty
degraded
entitled to the rage
that runs through every vein leading
to the heart that created
this
in the first place
bones can break and they will heal
but the spirit will remain bruised
and knowing
