Painful Words

The sting of your words

Throws me off.

I never could believe

That you would say

Those painfully striking words

Ever to me.

Now I kind of wonder

If you even believe

Those previous words

You say to me

Every morning and night

Before I leave.

In the night,

The intense pain attacks me again.

I wish that the truth is easier to bear.

But that is not how it works.

The truth will hurt you.

The truth will pain you.

The truth will sting you.

The truth will perish you.

The sting of your words

Throws me off.

I never could believe

That you would say

Those painfully striking words

Ever to me.

But the truth is out

And the truth hurts.
