Poem
Dear all the ones who have hurt me Did you enjoy it? Did you feel joy, while I felt pain? Did you smile, while I frowned? Did you laugh, while I cried? Dear all the ones who have hurt me You were awake, while I slept You were aware, while I was not You were stable, while I was vulnerable Dear all the ones who have hurt me You clouded my judgement the way lemon clouds water I was blind in the mist of your lies You took things you thought you deserved You convinced me those things were not mine Dear all the ones who have hurt me Did you know your blades could scar? Can you see the slashes you made across my heart, like carvings on my gravestone? Dear all the ones who have hurt me You fled, while I bled I gifted unto you my life, my heart, my soul Wrapped it up with the infinite ribbon of my love And delivered to your deceitful masked joker Dear all the ones who have hurt me You gave me nothing in return Nothing real, nothing true Yet you took my gifts willingly Revelling and bathing in the pool of tears I cried Dear all the ones who have hurt me How did you not burn? How did you not burn when it was you who was lounging in the light of my beating heart? You soaked in the rays of my devotion, watching While my own helplessness devoured me, until I became empty once again Dear all the ones who have hurt me One cut can heal Dear all the ones who have hurt me Did you enjoy cutting me more? Did you enjoy cutting me deep? Dear all the ones who have hurt me Did you enjoy stealing my light? Leaving me in the cold, steely darkness Waiting to see just when it would swallow me whole Dear all the ones who have hurt me I wish I could hurt you too I wish I could steal back my light I wish I could return my strength Dear all the ones who have hurt me Did you enjoy it? Dear all the ones who have hurt me I know I would
