He Bruised

He Bruised

The world gave him an extinction date
It seemed
so...
He bruised
Love was never fond of him
At least to him
so...
He bruised
Could never really give it back
Something inside was always in lack
So...
He Bruised
Fancy dreams of overcoming feats
Strong was he
He just didn't quite know it himself
The past kept slamming him back
(!!!!!!Boom!!!!!)
So he bruised!
Endured mighty blows all while he had to keep trucking
The inside lacked
So...
He bruised
Heart was still in pieces
As he rattled on and on about his previous passion fruits
And....
He bruised
Maybe he was looking for
A muse
Strength
Hope
Love
Anything
Though haze was surrounding him
Trying to reach towards a new day
Looking for acceptance in all the wrong places
Displaying rage
When all that was needed was patience
Feat after feat
Surrounded by these things
Searching for some common ground
Having just the desire to not grow bitter
But lacking in actions
Wanting to survive for something better
Hiding his pain so no one could see
But at last- I knew better
My dear friend was bruised!
He bruised!
And ohhhh curious I
Desiring always to sit up close and try
To see if the bruised could be better in time
Sacrifice after sacrifice
I learned a dear lesson, my friend
He's Bruised
Some mishapen- forbidden fruit
Yet ...
He's Bruised
Such a beautiful display of strength and man
But still -
He bruised!!
Long, long before I
And there was nothing you or I could do
He bruised
HIGHER could only make him brighter
He's Bruised!
Step away Now with just that knowledge
Accept that at last..
That ...
He's bruised
The kind that could never equate with you
For healing comes 1st & some other hard lessons too
For
He's Just Bruised!

And not all sweetie but  just a handful are just.....


Bruised!!
And to stay would almost be like abandoning you!
Simply Because He's Bruised


And I am simply penning you down in memory of you 😏📝 The  Bruised!
