a darker shade than bruised

you never fail
to hurt me
whether it’s my emotions
that take the hit
or some other,
more visible,
part of me
you leave me bruised
nonetheless
but still
i go back to you
when you ask for me
because we can be
so right together
that i must believe
that the wrong
is a mistake
but every time
i get another scar
to add
to my collection
