If it was pain you wanted to cause
Then you absolutely did choose the most
Perfect words in season
To cut through my bravado –
My flimsy self-protective layer
Thrusting your sword with power
Right through me.
Tag hurt
Rejection
I have no point to prove
Wish there was more to say
Or even more to share
But I have no words
To say to you
The hurt runs deep and wide
Like blood flowing through my veins
It never goes away
I’ve learnt the lesson
Will live to tell
Uncontrolled
I resent every part of me
That took a stand and
Stood up for myself
The adult within
That said you will not
Abuse the child within
The adult is still there
Lurking in the dark
While the child cries
Uncontrollably
Please Rather
A kinder option
Would simply be
To pluck my heart
Right out my chest
Dice with a knife
Leaving a pool of
Warm gushing red
It will hurt far less
Broken
Broken hearts and
Broken lives.
Falling tears,
Falling apart.
Misunderstandings
And confusion.
It’s a broken
Hurting world.
Cruel Words
Cruel words hurt and plunder
Cruel words are slicing knives
Cruel words break my heart and
Cruel words make me cry
Cruel words are honest and
Sometimes I would rather
Cruel words be damned and
Rather hear a lie
Healed
My open wound
Has sealed
The pain inside
Has healed
The scars
Remain
But I’m still
Sane
And you can’t hurt me
Anymore
Scars
I had a wound
So deep and raw
I would flinch
Eyes filled with tears
The wound has healed
Etching scars across
My soft pale flesh
Reminders of the
Pain I no longer feel
And I don’t care
Any more
I’m Sorry
I’m sorry
When I say words
I know I will regret
I’m sorry
When I lash out
And say what I want to say
The remorse overcomes
The sorrow drowns
The hurt pains
And I hate myself
Can I reverse the clock
Can I unsay the words
Can I undo the wounds
Can I be someone else
Anyone but me?
Famous Last Words
Please don’t hurt me, I cried
I don’t want to be hurt
It’s not my style, you replied
