Every time you say something hurtful
You can’t take back the pain
I’m black and blue and bleeding.
But you can’t say a thing.
To heal the hurt
The pain you’ve caused
With words so sharp
They sting.
I wish you could know
The pain that you have
Caused me.
But then I realize
Someday you most likely will
When someone says things to you
You’ll know just how I feel.
