Bruise

It starts not even visible to the naked eye
But the pain, sharp and noticeable, presents
Then gradually without much fanfare
Purple shows up, light, almost floral
Still hurting, acutely to the touch
As the purple darkens, it fits the feeling
Painful but colorful reminder of the damage
Fading out it begins to yellow, sickly golden
Tinged with green you begin to know the pain
Will soon subside physically but hold on
Remaining in some form as a reminder
