Words Can Hurt

I always heard the saying that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt but I learned long ago that it was all a lie because words do hurt well at least your words did they cut me like a knife deep down in my soul they hurt the most because they came from you every single thing you have ever called me I will never forget I cant ever forget it wont go away its lingering inside my head it hits me every night I sit in the dark thinking of you thinking of how that hurt me so much but it was just a word yea thats true its the way i took it I took it hard my tears are silent and those are the worse kind of tears I only do it at night every night but you wouldnt know I am hurting deep down inside but you still wouldnt know you can ask me all you want my answer will always be im okay you just dont understand me so why would i tell you now I realize that i am nothing you call me I am more than that but why does it hurt so much maybe its because it came from you a person I love so much a person that i never thought would say it but you did now I cant seem to let it go it will always be with me I feel so less of myself but I will get over it words really do hurt especially when they came from you...
