This Hurts

by Jenni Marie   May 4, 2007


All the time you say you love me
Well, I think you're playing with my head
Saying that I'm the only one for you
Yet you make me wish that I was dead.

There was a time long ago
When you were caring and kind
Now everytime you're near, I cower
You have destroyed my mind.

Blaming me for everything
Getting a whack for 'answering back'
Anyone else would be in shock
Yet I'm used to your cruel slaps.

Every day I sit with a sad smile
Remembering our happier times
What happened to those special days
When I was so proud to call you mine?

Knowing you are bad for me
But I can't bring myself to leave
Love you from the bottom of my heart
Yet it hurts every time I breathe.

If I truly am so special to you
Why do you always treat me like dirt?
Used to think romance was a fairytale
Now I know loving this deep hurts.

    Some of it seem al ittle forced, but mostly the flow is great. For some reason the last stanza doensn't seem to fit perfectly in the poem, It is like there is something off in it somewhere. I can't figure it out, maybe its just me, anyway 4/5

    I loved this poem. It truely came form ur heart. I hope this isn't really happening to you though. If it is, get out and get out now. You deserve better than this. If you don't leave soon you might leave against your will. and i don't mean him leaving you. Don't torchure youself and let him put you down. we are women and we are stronger than men. Be strong chicka

    Wow.
    Wonderful job, though it was heartbreaking to read. I hate knowing that this kind of thing actually happens in real life. The flow was flawless & the story within the poem was fabulous. Keep writing! 5.5

    I think it's a bit forced.
    For example, the first stanza.
    You wished you were dead
    Because someone was playing
    With your head?
    Hmm...
    Second and third line was fantastic.
    Especially the third.
    It was a real twist.
    I didn't know that the guy
    Actually hits the girl.
    It seemed kind of story like
    But not really.
    I like it, but I don't love it
    Anywayz,
    5/5 :]
