"We know what we are, but not what we may be" - Shakespeare


struck by tough hands

his roughness is loud and full of power

the noise in darkness echos

climbing up the stairs

to this room

where she lays wide eyed

completely awake

her face swollen and cut up

purple and black bruising

masked with layers of foundation

picture perfect

the surface of skin is cracked

far beyond what can be seen or even touched.
