If only you knew...

To all those hurt by others

If words could express all the pain I have felt in the past year

The words would bleed through pages and pages of stories

That went left unsaid

 

The words would leap off buildings

Drown in ocean waters

Then resurrect thmselves

Only to die 100,000 times the same way again

 

The words would pour salt into wounds beyond healing

Prey on the mourning

And cut deep into the backs

Of those not expecting

 

If only you knew the words I cannot express

If only you felt all my pain and my stress.

Oh dear I know how words can be so bitter ,and cut through skin
through heart,pain even more than being stabbed with a sharp object
it hurts a lot ..i have been hurt a lot so i understand perfect what you mean
yes i wonder how some could be so cruel ,i guess it needs real talent
to hurt..sometimes i would like to hurt back,but i swear i always fail
its like i do want it badly ..to hurt but i just can not
that was a wonderful writing ..i could feel your pain so well
wonderful write...

This is a well written poem that I believe truly describes the pain one feels. I really enjoyed reading it, and knew exactly what you were talking about.
