Black and blue and bold,

The shades of bruises you hold,

Secrets to unfold.

Memento Mori- It means that nothing lasts forever, no one is immortal, sooner or later you will die and things will come to an end. It also helps you realize that while you are living you should do the most with your life, live life to the fullest.

Your poem is really moving, conveying the pain of those abused by friends, family, or those that they date.  Very few people are willing to talk or bring up the subject but this needs to be brought to everyone's attention.  We can't just stand by and watch, hoping things will get better for them.
