The Pain of Your Words

By: Michelle

You told me to forget the memories,

To forget all my natural enemies,

The most important thing was to forget you,

But that was the last thing I was going to do.

That was what you said to me,

And that was all I was going to see.

You told me to forget your voice,

But I will not chooses that choice,

You spoke to me with gentle words,

You made my dreams feel like a flying bird.

The sound still rings in my head,

But it will never again put me back into bed.

You told me to forget your eyes,

You told me to not see you,

But how could I do that?

As you stared at me,

It made my mind so flat.

I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

The pain of your words struck me so hard,

But still, it never put my heart on guard.

I wasn't strong enough to handle this,

That will be how it is.

You turned your back on me,

I don't understand,

I just want to touch your calloused hand.

That's all I can feel right now.

Don't forget me like all the people do.

You cause me pain,

I figured that there was nothing to gain.

The only thing I lost was you.

The way I got hurt was from the pain of your words.

Maybe I just misheard.

You told me that you weren't good for me,

You told me you were bad.

You told me you would hurt me.

I told myself I wouldn't be sad.

Year's later maybe we can get in touch.

The pain of your words hurt me so much.

The pain of your words.
