Love Shouldn't Leave Bruises

I wrote this 2 yrs ago for a friend of a friend:


Love shouldn’t leave bruises


Love may be blind but you can’t even see thru your eyes,
Because they’re both swollen shut from trying to speak your mind.
You’re losing weight because you’re scared to even eat.
He’s pushed away all your friends.
To him we’re just a bunch of nosy, scandalous hoes, bitches & freaks.
Getting jumped by his other baby mamas?
You’re supposed to be his wife!
All while he sits back and condones and that shit just isn’t right!
You say “Y’all don’t understand our love; he’s nothing like y’all talk about!”
Because your family wants to help and you just shut them out.


Baby girl PLEASE, don’t take back that man!
Love shouldn’t leave bruises, get away while you can!

There’s some statements I’m gonna make and you might not find it nice.
You have a history of thugs running in & out your life.
You use your body to love, to talk, and mesmerize.
Should’ve spent more time w/ their minds.
Then you might have noticed the signs.
Now you’re another man’s punching bag, and it almost ain’t a suprise.
Again, you have to go out in public covered in a disguise.
When are you gonna wake up and see that man don’t love with his heart.
Or are you gonna wake up at all when this man can’t see y’all apart.
And it ain’t an open casket funeral because you’re just body parts!
Will your child grow up without you because daddy’s obsession went too far?
Or will they be doomed the same fate instead of growing up to be a star?


Baby girl PLEASE, don’t take back that man!
Love shouldn’t leave bruises, get away while you can!
