Hands leave dark marks
Open palms, closed fists
Whatever he feels he needs.
Salve for the things his father did
Drinks don't ease the pain
So he doesn't take them
(That was his father's place)
Only Pain eases the pain
Blood calms his heart
I'll give him whatever he needs
To make him whole again
This... This is all I can do for him,
except comfort and forgive him
as he cries his guilt
into my bloodied shoulder<blockquote>
............ Musings on an abusive relationship... What if it really was this way sometimes?

I really like this. I love the kinda choppiness of it, almost disjointed and I think you get through to what can make you stay in an abusive relationship. Their pain is as great as what they inflict on you in some cases (of course doesn't make it right but who can predict or understand the foibles of relationship?)
