Daily Poetry Challenge: Bruises that Don't Show
Acrostic Poem on the Cycle of Abuse and Denial
How could I be so blind?
Even now I want to believe...
Even now I want to believe...

It didn't happen? was an accident?
There is some reason?
He will never do it again? how odd
Everything looks the same
Really only something inside me, broken by her confession.
