Thorns

The thorns of your words cut me
Leaving scars on my inside
Your intentions were love



I received pain instead
Not always, but enough
Enough for me to realize it wasn't worth it



You weren't worth the pain you caused me 
Leaving you ripped me open
Worse than any thorns could have cut me



This is for the best I know
I hope you don't feel the same pain I do
I wish only the best for you
And for me-
No more thorns will cut me
