Stain My Soul

It's been almost 3 years
Since you've used your fists to paint
  The colors of a painful past
Your canvas was my face
         〰⭐〰
   The bruises are long gone
Fractured bones re-mend
   The fear of what's to come
Has finally reached the end
         〰⭐〰
   Rock bottom packed the punch
With the same intensity
   Reality showed you who was boss
The same way you showed me
         〰⭐〰
   You acknowledge the mistakes
Displayed in your gallery of art, but...
    They say "when something finishes"
"Something else always seems to start"
         〰⭐〰
    I am thankful for the journey
The distance travelled has been far
    The only proof that's left
Are memories behind the scars
         〰⭐〰
    Please hear me when I say this
How could I have known
    The words you now paint with
Permanently stain my soul...
