You hurt me.

We affect each other,
We change each other,
You changed my life
You eliminated my life

You may not remember me
But I remember you.

You hurt me.

Your Words.

I remember your words because they hurt,
They enveloped my brain and became a part of me
I wanted to forget--
I wanted to go away

They wouldn’t go away so I had to.

You hurt me.

Are you listening now?

Your drop of water is my storm
A hurricane of words you don’t even remember

All I remember.

All I think about--
Your words won’t go away
They will never go away

You hurt me.

Your words are powerful,
They changed me,
My life

You hurt me.

One careless sentence
One moment in time.

You think you’re funny
Your words don’t matter

They matter.

But maybe you said nothing
You remained silent--
stood and watched.
You watched my storm grow
I became a hurricane
You watched me spin
and didn’t stop me

You watched me build.

You let
Me build
Until I was unstoppable.
I became destructive
You watched.

You hurt me.

One careless Action.

One meaningless inaction.

You hurt me.

You ruined me.
