The notes I scribble down right now are staring back at me. They ask me what I've done, and I say nothing. For once, I have done nothing wrong. The words scowl and scoff and hiss and harumph, Not buying my true story. At this point, I say I don't care. My face stings as the words attack my ear And cheek. I can do nothing more than sit in silence, Trembling oh so slightly. To love is to trust is to hurt is to lose And I have done all of these things multiple times Regarding you. It's a vicious cycle, and you'd think that Since I've recognized the problem I could rid myself of the issue. But stupidly, Oh stupid me, For some reason I CHOOSE to stay here. I have chosen many times to take my chances, And each time I have a little more to gain and A little more to lose. We are nothing. Please remember that those words were yours and not mine. As soon as I hear you say this, I look down and see a thin red line bursting across My thumb. Sticks and stones may break my bones But your words will always hurt me. |
