Bruise
And like a bruise it isn’t even superficial
 But with each simple reminder
 There is fire under my flesh
 I can’t help but reminisce
 How could I have lost this?
 It was right there, between my fingers
 I was holding as tight as possible
 As the feeling of loss lingers
 I’m questioning, if I were able
 Would I have stopped this from the start
 Is this a battle worth fighting
 Do I look back before I depart
 And are there enough wrongs worth righting
 To put myself on the line
 When I say they, I mean me
 And they’re there
 Acting like they don’t care
 But it’s like ignoring the gapping
 Hole as the bloods escaping
 All across the floor
 It was right there, between my fingers
 I was holding as tight a grip as possible
 As the feeling of loss lingers
 I’m questioning, if I were able
 Would I have stopped this from the start
 Is this a battle worth fighting
 Do I look back before I depart
 And are there enough wrongs worth righting
 To put myself on the line
 They’re there again, not facing the facts
 What you had is gone
 And life goes on
 But they want it back
 And they’re not shutting up
 Til’ they’re face down across the floor
 Or they’re belongings are restored
 Whichever one comes first
 It was right there, between my fingers
 I was holding as tight a grip as possible
 As the feeling of loss lingers
 I’m questioning, if I were able
 Would I have stopped this from the start
 Is this a battle worth fighting
 Do I look back before I depart
 And are there enough wrongs worth righting
 To put myself on the line
