I KNOW SHE HURTS (Resubmitted)

by `*`Silently_Hurting`*`   May 26, 2005


I know she hurts inside and for her I've prayed,
I've seen those scars on her arms each one self-made.
And I try so hard to understand that pain she feels inside,
And Why she hurts herself but I can't…. believe me I've tried.
Its hard for me to believe that they're not mistakes,
That each one on her body she intentionally creates.
And inside I'm so annoyed that I have no control
That I can't stop her from that piece of object in her hand she holds.
I go out of my mind that I can't protect her from herself,
that she's the one in control and no one else..
Though it makes me wonder where I am when she does this?
Haven't I paid enough attention or was there something I missed?
I feel like I've failed to protect her and to keep her safe
And I wish I could rewind and put my arms around her in a tight embrace..
I try so hard to help her but I don't know what to do,
I feel so helpless most of the time and it makes me angry and frustrated to.
And somehow I want to make her a bit more better but I helplessly stand there and watch,
And come to realize how one person you love can hurt you so much…
