Hurt

I've been wounded, I'll never heal from all the things that you did, my heart has bruises, I feel so stupid, I've been wounded I am broken, I never thought you'd leave my heart so open, all these emotions, I feel hopeless, I've been broken I've been betrayed, pain is the only memory that replays, dim are the stars that we gazed, dead is the grass where we laid, I've been betrayed I am hurting, I feel lost and no one's searching, I'm just lurking, frozen in a world that keeps on burning, I am hurting.

So well written. Its simple yet digs deep into the emotions of a devastated soul. You sure have a gift of bringing your feelings to the reader, as so few do.

Thank you so much, Wen! It brings me great joy to be able to share my writings with all of you. I was a bit hesitant to post this as it was more of a draft, but sometimes it's nice to just write without so much stress about form.

I feel this pain. Your poem skillfully conveys this pain across distances. And I suppose such poetry will always be beautiful.

A sad poem, Shane. It does not take much to 'wound' someone, but recovery can take much longer! May that hurt heal sooner than later. ~ paul
