Your words are far more hurtful,

Than you will ever know

They cut deep into my heart,

And stop words in my thoat.

An apology cannot stop the pain,

No matter how sincere

As the recurrence of every word,

Strikes my heart with fear.

The playback of that sentence,

To see if I heard right

The realisation I did,

Make tears cloud my sight.

I wish the pain was physical,

So it could be removed

But this pain is purely inside me,

And turns my smiles to gloom.

I just wish and hope and pray,

That those five dark words

And their twisted bitterness,

Will not destroy my world.

I love you and I always will,

Forever, come what may

But this dagger that is in my heart,

Forever there shall stay.

This pain I have does not change,

The way I feel for you

As my love runs deep and pure,

My love for you is true.

The final thing I hope and wish,

Is those words I'll never say,

In the hope that you can smile

Will never feel this way.
