I hope it hurts

By urban_angel

I never thought I'd feel this way again
now it echoes hollow in my ears
am I a fool or just hopefull
that I held unfounded fears

Now it shows I was wrong
and all the pain is falling down
I thought I had learned my lesson
but again in this pain I drown

Is there something within me
that turns love itself away
If this is to be my penance
I have no choice but to pay

I've hurt and been hurt the same
I never claimed a saint to be
I'm running out of tears to shed
But my pain you all can see

I am not some holy deity,
not a goddess, my dear
I'm a simple girl in love
but my anger you should fear

You hurt, you tear, you break my heart
You act as if you are  gods
prepare to be ripped limbs apart
you placed bets on the wrong odds.
