If only we had known…
The first time it happened
She wore dark glasses, wept all day
Hormones, we sniggered
The second time it happened
Walked into a wall she said
Alcohol, we smugly declared
Signed her cast, wished her well
The third time it happened
Fell down the stairs she said
And wouldn’t smile
Lover’s tiff, we winked
The fourth time it happened
A bee stung her she said
Frolicking in the park, we laughed
The fifth time it happened
She didn’t come in
We heard she was broken
Like a toy
Which no-one could
Ever
Put back together again
If only
We had known
We cried

sounds like a sad story.
if it’s what i think it is, then i hope that she got some help and managed to get out of that situation.
Did she live to get away?
umm.
not trying to be all smart and stuff,
but it says “we heard she was broken, like a toy. which no one could ever put back together”.
doesnt tht mean she DID in fact die? [[to the ppl who posted b4 me]]
ya. wewe. i love this.
it shows how ppl can never tell,
or they just pretend not to see–
the damage of abuse.
(v.v)..makes me wanna cry.
very beautiful! =]
