Hurting Inside

Don't you see What your doing to me Every turmoil and fight Leaves me feeling so low. Carving a scar into my heart Like a knife to the tree bark I feel it starting to cut As the stinging pain Aches in my soul. All the blasted howling Every empty threat spoken Saying you don't care About nothing at all, But I care deeply. Words spoken so sharp Like the scissors that clip Clipping away at my heart Happiness that once resided Slowly replaced by sadness. I've put up with it all From the day I was born But now I'm starting to feel That I'm going to pieces. One by one Inch by inch Slowly, but surely My soul shrinking If I scrap my shoulder I won't mind at all For the real pain resides Inside my fragile heart.
