Bruises

Physical injuries warrant attention.

They are clearly there

Visible to all.

The bruises

The bandages

They are battle wounds

Of mistaken moments.

Emotional injuries do not leave a trace

They hide and are elusive.

Leaving you struggling

Without anyone knowing

And easily linger longer than any physical injury.

Sometimes I wish emotional injuries left bruises.
