Hurt

Like the sting of a bee Scrape on the knee You walking away from me Like the heat of the afternoon sun on the sand When you let go of my hand You fell , you fell so hard Turning your back on me Like the prick of a pin The game I played all night and didn't win The words you didn't want to hear Like losing your voice and having no choice Sudden light in the darkest of rooms Bite of a dog Snap of a bone Running into walls Unanswered calls Shrill voices Open heart surgery Nothing hurts like loss
