Please just Stay

Saw something the other day, I wish I hadn’t. I was at the swimming pool collecting my neighbour’s boy when this girl caught my eye.

There was nothing noticeable about her except she looked lost, a look of sadness that was drowning her from the inside out. She caught me threw me an angry glare.

That's not what upset me I wouldn't like a stranger staring either. It was the bruises when she turned around, the area they were in that hurt me profoundly.

I knew that girl was being abused, misused and I told nobody.
