Always Hurt

No matter what happens to you or to everyone else,
I'm the one that always gets hurt.
I should be used to it,
But sometimes I'm not.

I brush off the pain,
Like it's dust on a shelf.
Hiding behind this mask, is my true feelings.
But a part of me doesn't know as if I should take it off.

They say I trust too easily,
They say I love too much,
They say thats how I always get hurt,
And that my heart's fragile to the touch.

They lie to me from the start,
That's their fault.
They should know better,
Unless their hamster wheel came to a hault.

They ask for help sometimes,
So I say okay.
I don't have to though.
Their problems, obviously, are not mine.

Yes, there were a couple of guys that hurt me,
Emotionally, not physically.
They're the ones I loved the most,
That's why it also hurt the most.

I was crushed,
I'm always falling for the ones that seem like they care,
But in the end, I'm hurt and they're gone.
They have already moved on.

Always hurt,
Sad to say.
It's true,
Especially when they say "I love you".

Sometimes people use the words "I love you" too freely and for their own gain. I can see you have survived the pain you incurred in these false relationships and admire your strength. We have much in common, Brittany. Best wishes, Carolyn

Thanks, Anthony, for the spell check comment, otherwise I would've over looked it.

I see what you're saying and it sure can seem like it's always you and you'll always be hurt. One thing that has helped me is to remember what I'm searching for and not to compromise. Even if that means going alone for a while. And if you want some feedback on your writing, I would only suggest that you carefully check your spelling. Keep writing and thanks for sharing. Tony
