The Last Hurt
When were you last hurt
I don’t just mean let down
or disappointed
I mean really hurt
The kind of stabbed in the
Back hurt
You told me about this morning
The twisted knife in the gut hurt
You once frequently referred to
When were you last hurt
Come on baby tell me
Hey did I just call you baby
I bet that stings a bit
Have you ever been in agony
I doubt it
I don’t just mean a niggle
Or an ache
I mean abject misery
No I thought not
Never mind it will find you
Believe me you have earned it

Ouch?
This is what I say to myself every morning lol.
Not sure I got it though?
As if it is about being hurt I should not make light of it.
Sorry,
I always struggle with vengeance and retribution though. I would never want another to feel misery I would always try and absolve that as much as I could. Even if that person causes me abject misery.
Of course then there is another way I could read this too.
I think I have a hangover, sorry.
this is an oldie.. a bit like me really... I much appreciate your detailed response my friend...
Yeah sorry about that.
Note to self...
Don’t upset Neville.
Great write Neville although I always find the pain we have (When we have it) it the worst pain in the world don't you?
I guess there is always someone worse off than us?
absolutely spot on Andrew and thanks for taking a moment to leave ya mark here.. tis always appreciated and muchly so... N
Great write and I just love the last line. M
Thank you Michael
I'll hurt ya - continually. Hurt ya ears that is. But how? Well, I'll just sing. Then they'll hurt me in return, so I'll never be able to sing again. I can't give details of what they'll do to me. I will only make myself swoon.
I just popped in to post this waffle. lol
thank you for visiting my page .. 🙂
Wow- - this must come from the core of one who has suffered real hurt that takes a while to get over, if ever - - I know - - - - only a quick read for me at the weekend but those last couple of lines went close to the cause of a breaking or broken relationship and stung me to comment. Brave and honest those lines my friend
as ancient as the hills.. or very near my friend and so much water under the bridge has flowed... I just thought an airing might be in order... cheers muchly my friend x
Nicely written, very personal feel
bless ya and true... ta for the visit my friend... Neville
Sooner or later heartbreak finds us all. Love's darker side leaves a lifelong mark. We try to remove it, to hide it, to rid ourselves of it in any way possible Yet it remains. Knowledge, that the other will one day suffer the same fate lets us balance out our lives. At least the knife gets removed. Nice poem of recovery this. Enjoyed its small taste of vengeance. - Phil A.
Many thank you's Phil and particularly for the detailed and well reasoned comments you left behind... Much appreciated and then some.. Neville
Such a strong write Neville, those hurts can really affect us but I am so glad that it was a while ago and your life appears to be back on a smooth course. We all have those hurts but we also have had the time to get over them.
Thank you sir... much appreciated ... Neville
