Hurting


Why do your words hurt me so? 

The one I love and know

Why do the things you say get to me?

Stress me out and cause me pain

Love should come so naturally

But I am broken yet again.

 

You just keep takling

as tears run down my face.

I know that you see my hurt,

This is not okay.

 

I thought we were past this,

onto bigger things.

But here we are in another mess,

leaving me wondering.
