Words Hurt

John_Bingham

 

 

I’m feeling pretty emotional,

But I don’t think I can talk to you

I’m certain you don’t want to hear it

You’ll just get angry.

I’m feeling pretty emotional,

I just want someone to talk to

Someone I know that will listen

Someone I wished was you.

I’m struggling to hide how I’m feeling

But if I tell you, you’ll just get mad

I’m struggling to pull it together

To not seem sad.

You don’t seem to realise the problem

You say stuff that really hurts me

I wish I could tell you the problem

But you just wind up shouting at me.

Its not often I feel this lonely

Even when I’m not alone

It’s not that you’ve left me broken

Because you’re still coming home.

But I do feel I’m broken and beaten

I’m wounded the stuff that you said

I’m hurt from the words that you’ve chosen

You’ve really got into my head.

I wish I could say how im feeling

And I wish that the words that you say

Weren’t chosen to cause so much damage

As they stick in my head where they stay.

I wish you could see how I love you

And how much I’m hurting inside

I can’t tell you I know you’ll be angry

So I’m fine is the line but I lied.

    I understand. I felt this way when my cousin killed himself when he was 15. He was always there for me. Now he's not. Heck, I still feel this way. Even though it was 3 years ago.
