Said and Done

<...Free verse...<

The things you say
they cut into me
They echo in my head
and never go away
They never make me happy

..all the things said...

Tear me apart

The things you shout
'Go die!'
'Get out!'
can you not see?
they make me cry?
God, they make me so unhappy
Echoing through out my head

...all the things said..

Shadow against my heart

'Commit suicide'
'You're so stupid'
And I apologize
that I never died
your words burn me like acid

...the things that were said..

Were made to hurt me from the start

The things you say
Are not kind
and were never meant to come from a parent
A mother should never tell their child to go away
or keep them out of their mind
And your absence of love is all too apparent.
