Her arms are swollen, yellow, and green
Just a bump here and punch there
She bruises like a peach
She smiles through the pain, keeping her history sealed
His bones are broken, snapped in half
The skin is lumpy and scarred
He doesn't remember how his body got like this
He doesn't want to relive the pain
Her heart aches for something more
Rejection after rejection gets to her core
She's waiting for the perfect person
She fears they'll never come along
His fingers are stiff from long nights at work
If he were to take a day off, everything would crumble
He feels the pressure on his shoulders
He bruises in more ways than one
Her mind is tired of the endless thoughts
They float around taunting her, all-day
She wants to silence that voice
She wants someone to listen to her speak
His silence is from saying the wrong thing one too many times
The words stay locked in his mouth, never leaving his tongue
He never wanted this twisted freedom
He just wanted someone to listen
They had never met before
Living two different lives miles apart
Their lives collide after everything happens, too many years later
Their feelings won't stop even though they want them to
