Hurt

I've been wounded, 
I'll never heal from all the things that you did,
my heart has bruises,
I feel so stupid, 
I've been wounded

I am broken, 
I never thought you'd leave my heart so open,
all these emotions,
I feel hopeless,
I've been broken

I've been betrayed, 
pain is the only memory that replays,
dim are the stars that we gazed,
dead is the grass where we laid,
I've been betrayed

I am hurting,
I feel lost and no one's searching,
I'm just lurking, 
frozen in a world that keeps on burning,
I am hurting.

I was a bit hesitant to post this as it was more of a draft, but sometimes it's nice to just write without so much stress about form.

Paul Callus Date: 1/27/2024 12:04:00 PM A sad poem, Shane. It does not take much to 'wound' someone, but recovery can take much longer! May that hurt heal sooner than later. ~ paul Login to Reply Shane Thacker Date: 1/27/2024 1:38:00 PM Well said, Paul. Thank you for reading it, sir.
