Hurt

Hurt

A Poem by Joshua J. Certain

Open my wounds
this is all because of you
Do you see every tear?
Do you see the the scars they form
There is nothing here
Nothing to cover it
Nothing to make it heal
Pounding at the chest
It always burns
A scorning since of emptiness
Where will it end?
Its not as simple
Just to say this is it

Compact into something so tasteless

Leave me so worthless

I scream as I try to hide your picture from myself

Such a bad obsession depleting my health

There are bruises under the epidermis

scars on my soul

Thanks for being another knife 

That leaves that mark
Another sore part

To change the way I sleep

To change the habits I keep

You can have this pain back

I don't appriciate this thing you give me

Take it all watch me through you away

Watch me rise my head high

Make you regret every moment you have ever known me

A most salacious prose that speaks to a reader, almost sexual in your nature as a writer, i find myself asking whether you lunge forward or mask the reader with heavy wording, a most beautiful piece, well done

So powerful and emotive, I love how you keep it with just enough information to explain, but still to make people think :) well done :)

Very strong and powerful emotions to be mixed together. This is why they say there is such a fine line between love and hate. Really great read & write.

"Thanks for being another knife

Loved this part. The subtle sarcasm in your tone really amplifies the sentiment well. The flow was great- something i sometimes have a problem with with free verse...but this was definitely a winner.

Good job on this.
