Burnt In Hurt
Words too harsh to hear
Still burning in my ear
What wound you sought to avenge,
Successful beyond belief,
I only hope you've found your relief
The sting of tears
Will last for years,
My step now starts to falter,
Drunken laughter in the corner,
Evaporates my self-respect
I do not have a dishwasher-safe heart
My life seems to have taken a small
step in the wrong direction
I fear that laughter will haunt my life
From one who was once my wife.
