Because You Hurt Me


Because you hurt me there is a constant memory in my mind that is of you, that I wish to forget Because you hurt me every breath I take is short and sharp, It's like your final words that you said to me are stabbing me in my side as a constant reminder that you aren't here any more Because you hurt me, there are bunch of words that I wish to say, but you took them and are never giving them back. Because you hurt me, I feel as though you took the person who I was and threw her away because she wasn't good enough. Because you hurt me Im taking little shards of me and trying to put them back together Because you hurt me, I'm finally starting to pick myself up off the floor and dust myself off and slowly move forward. Because you hurt me, I'm no longer the girl you crushed up and threw away in the trash but rather a girl who's trying to find the treasures hidden within the dumpster called life Because you hurt me, I realized that I am a girl who is a beautiful disaster, and now is learning how to find herself and what she's about.
