Hurting

Tongue like a razor;
lashing out.
Words cut like knives;
gouging deep wounds.
Wounds left open; 
bleeding, hurting.
Forgotten; 
are feelings of happiness.

Engulfed in this darkness,
for longer than just a while.
Longing for someone to pull me up.
Show me once again, 
what it's like to be happy;
to be loved by a friend.
