Bruise V2

Bruise

You touched me without leaving a mark,
But I still carry it deep in the dark.
It wasn’t blood, it wasn’t bone,
But somehow you broke what I called home.

You never screamed, but you cut through,
Not with fists — just the truth.

I'm just a bruise, under the skin,
Quiet and dark, where it begins.
You can’t see it, but I still feel,
Every shade of what was real.
I'm just a bruise, fading slow,
But some things never fully go.
You didn’t stay, but you didn’t lose…
You left me here as just a bruise.

You said you cared, then turned away,
Now your silence is where I lay.
It’s not a wound, it’s not a scar,
But it lingers wherever you are.

You never hit, but it still stings,
Your love was made of softer things.

I'm just a bruise, hiding inside,
Painted in pain I never cried.
You can’t trace it, but it’s still there,
A whisper curled beneath despair.
I'm just a bruise, blue then black,
Time may move, but it turns back.
You walked away with nothing to lose…
And I became a bruise.

Bruises fade, or so they say,
But some stay long after the day.
Not all damage leaves a sign —
Some hurt lives between the lines.

I'm just a bruise, soft but real,
Proof of what I couldn’t heal.
You said goodbye without a sound,
But I still feel you all around.
I'm just a bruise, quiet and deep,
A place your memory still keeps.
You left no cut, no wound to choose…
But you left me
As just a bruise.
