Aching Hearts

They say “sticks and stones may shatter bones, but words will never hurt you”.

That is a complete lie because…well because words can hurt you. It can cut deeper than any scar you could have one your body.


I’ve got a confession….

I hurt someone deeply

To the point where they don’t want to get out of bed


They cry themselves to sleep

They refuse to even speak

They sometimes wish they could wipe away the pain, but they can’t….


This might be the worst thing I’ve ever done

This might be the worst thing I’ve ever said

I wish I can take it back, but I can’t

Some things are left undone…unsaid


The words I had said, I can’t take it back

They would easily know I was faking it

Who is this person I severely hurt?

The person who is aching inside? I’ll tell you….


I keep feeding this person all these lies

I keep damaging their heart with my own insecurities

I keep hitting this person mentally with every terrible word there is….


I hope someday when I look in the mirror

I can apologize for what I’ve said

I hope I can sound sorry

Sometimes I wish I can apologize for what I said and I can look at my reflection…and know that I meant it….
