Words can never hurt me

By veingo

I'm all that's left,
of what I was.



I didn't mean to disappoint you.



As you whisper blades,
into my ear.



I'm sorry I let you down.



Trying to make it better,
only makes it worse.



I had the best intentions.



Now aim your tongue,
down at my heart.



I'm sure we'll both feel better.

    This is so powerful with subtle intensity. I enjoyed it. Very much!

  • A former member wrote: I can picture someone screaming at the child in each one of us through these words. I guess in a way, atleast in some instances, hurting is a choice. So unessecary. I guess you can't blame someone for being ignorant of you. ~Awesome Fucking Write~

    I like how you (if you are indeed the subject) just take it like man for apparently being a naughty boy.

    I think you took this the wrong way. It wasn't an admission of guilt, for something. It's an apology for not being able to make her happy. But I thank you for reading :)-

    I love you. You know this.

  • A former member wrote: jeesh...I miss you when you're silent for so very long. I see you every now and then on chatter, but I don't usually stop to say hello...maybe I should. Anyway. I read. I love. And I thank you for this, it's excellent. ~*Beth*~
