Love Does Not Leave Bruises Glitterberry
My heart feels dark and heavy today
The sky's are gray and there's snow on the ground
As I sit in my home I don’t hear a sound
The silence around me thunders in my ears
I find myself wishing that you were still here
I know it sounds crazy and makes zero sense
Considering you hit me and held me hostage
But our relationship was not always so sad and so low
We had so much fun together last year when it snowed
We would hole up in your basement in our own private world
We needed no one else in our own little cove
My mind often drifts back to the summer that we met
Best summer I’ve had in my life as of yet
Such unexpected love that came into my life
I wasn’t looking for anyone when you came around
You definitely turned my frown the other way around
But it wasn’t too long before the abuse began
I understood that you had a troubled past
But I confided in you that I did, too, so why would you do that?
From that point on we were so up and down
But I loved you like crazy so I always stuck around
I was fragile and broken with a sad, confused heart
Not understanding why my lover would leave on me marks
Just hoping that one day things would be different
But knowing all along that they probably wouldn’t
That fateful night my instinct showed true
And the following morning was the last time I saw you
You were 'cuffed in my home with the police escorting you out
I finally had enough, and this was the only way out
Goodbye my love, I wish we didn’t have to end this way
But I know its for the best, even though that’s so hard to say
So many hopes and dreams and memories we shared
I guess that’s why they say that life isn’t fair
I would say that I wish you all the best in your life
But at this point I'm still too upset and full of strife
One day I'll forgive you and I'll set you free
But I will always remember you in my memory
As the first man I loved that ever hit me
