Not Again

Soft tears
and tearful crys,
Deep inside
all love dies.
Aged bruises
grown on me,
Enter pain
and set me free.
From this blade
I accept deep sins,
While reddened lips
whisper "not again."
And burn memories
of time once past,
And grew love
of shadows cast.
Inside of me
I feel a bruise,
And I ask
"Why though?"
A crumpled fist
approaches more,
And makes on me
a deeper sore.
The strikings
once more begin,
As I say to myself
"Not again.."
And once again
the rusted blade,
And once again
the slices made.
As life do I live on
inside the bruises,
Carry on
deeper and deeper.
I need to know,
Why.
