What's worse,
The bruise on the skin, destined to fade,
Or the sting of words, in silence replayed?
Manipulated truths, twisted and spun,
A war in my mind you've already won.

You bend my will, reshape my sight,
Convince me the darkness is actually light.
A bruise will heal, the pain will cease,
But your words leave me begging for peace.

You whisper "I care," but your care's a chain,
Binding my soul in invisible pain.
What's worse,
The wound that's seen, or the one that's hid?
The love that controls, or the hate it forbid?
