He raises his hand
to stroke her face
She flinches
too many strikes
have made her jumpy
He places his mouth on hers
expressing his love with saliva
She tastes the countless lips
clandestinely kissed
Apologized and forgotten
From his mind
but still residing in hers
.
He has left a permanent mark
A branding of abuse
Scarred scared
She is afraid to remove her make-up
Fearing he will think her ugly
Maybe time will pass
And so will her
resentment
feeling not enough
disposable
Until then
She is a shell of what she used to be
Pretending to love
Fearing she no longer can
