IF
you truly wish to care for
a bruise
remember
it grows
flourishes
ONLY
under the best of care
first one must incite said bruise
I
can tell you how
to do this
just go against what he says
or wants
or, if you are patient, you
COULD
wait silently
and he will imagine you've imagined being with another man
he will plant one on ya
now dont
RUN
you must care for this tender blossom
Small at first
And unattractive grey colour
Just watch as it blooms violence
Oops, I meant, violet, of course
Now to insure that the blossoms wont ever have time
To completely fade
AWAY
hide them
AWAY
Where only you can see them sometimes
Feel them all the time
Oh, follow my advice please
And you will soon be a living garden
This is amazing imagery and details. I am sorry that you had to go through so much.
I really liked how you used the layout to tell us two different things at the same time.
