Cruel Words

Cruel words you aimed to hurt me Should never have caused me harm But sadly this has happened Causing me fear and much alarm. The evil behind your eyes is scary A glazed look of crazed madness. A blank canvas of expressionless exposure Of hate I can't address!! What have I done to hurt you? Why do you go out your way to cause me pain? Why am I at your hands of suffering And what do you have to gain? I apologise profusely IfI've maddened you In any way But you must see that I'm now suffering And that you've surely seen me pay! Why can you not let go now And let bygones be gone and done What can you possibly have to gain still What victory can still be won? Can't you see I'm suffering Can't you see I've paid the price? Can't you see I've been dealt a bad hand And the devil rolled the dice.
