Your Words

Like a broadsword through my empty chest,
Your words hurt, though said in jest.

I returned your anger with only laughter,
Your words hurt, you cared not after.

My soul I spilled but you didn’t care,
Your words hurt, my walls stripped bare.

My heart I was ready to give,
Your words hurt, too much to live.
