Hurt
pain is not hurt
physical pain is comfort
just ask my leg
or my arm
or my stomach
I have gone numb
when you don't feel it anymore
when the physical pain
just goes away
thats when you are hurt
that is when you have lost
it's hard to go back
from the point so low
you can look up no longer
and see any light
every hour is darkness
every day
is like night
when tears stop coming
you are left without feeling
except for hurt
tears are relief
when you slice through your skin
but I don't cry anymore about that
I just hurt
