Hurt

Have you ever been hurt so
much that you can't feel?

So much that the pain
makes it nearly impossible to heal?

Have you ever lost someone
that meant so much to you?

Than look back and think
how could any of this be true?

I feel that pain
everyday

I once felt that nothing
could ever feel this way

I hide the happiness
inside the truth

That this pain
is way too crude

I feel like an empty shell
living in a world of hell

The pain antagonizes 
the truth of how I feel

So when I wake up
reality makes it real

I don't know

How to let it go

The pain is so 
deep within

So deep that I let
the enemy win

So how do you know

When to let the hurt go?
