Today you hit me hard <br />With neither fist nor weapon <br />You lashed me with your tongue <br />A wound that can’t be seen. <br /> <br />It’s a clever way to control me <br />I can’t protect myself when you let fly <br />I am bashed but no one knows <br />You leave no mark. <br /> <br />I will heal from your bashing <br />Though the scar will be ugly <br />No one will see it <br />You make sure of that <br /> <br />Not sure how many times <br />I’ll be able to take your abuse <br />Each time the scar is bigger <br />And the pain to go with it. <br /> <br />Today you hit me hard <br />Today I lay dieing inside. <br />For your words crush my soul <br />A mark that cant be seen.<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bashed-without-a-mark/
