It Hurts

Folder: 
Other Dedications

I asked myself, “How will our story end?”

Only time will tell;

So I will jump head first

Hoping I land on my feet.



My silent fears speak louder

Than my harsh words.

You see through my cold-heartedness

Cloaked in lies of my morality.



You know I think you will hurt me.

So I try to hurt you first

But every time I do, I fail

And I only hurt myself.



Despite the hurt I cause myself

You still manage

To pinch and probe me

Like your own personal voodoo doll.



I took every pinprick in stride

Even though it hurts so much

Until the last one

That pierced right through my heart.



You break my heart each day

And wonder why you see me hurting

So you try to put it back together

With super glue, but it's not enough.



I went from an unbelievable high

To an unbearable low

Because the more you know me

The more I know you will hurt me.



Why does it hurt so much?

My eyes once prone to hollow tears

Were healed only to be infected again

By substantial tears this time.



When I met you, you carried me.

Now that you are gone

I’m afraid I need a crutch

Not to fall down again.



Why does it hurt so much to let you go?

I think I will stay

Until you complete me

Or leave me empty.



When the door closed behind you,

It opened my eyes

Seeing I was still intact

Because I know I didn't deserve this pain.
