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….
