Everyone Hurts You
Some by accident. Some by design. Some because you chose them.
Smiles are borrowed
Pain is owned
Promises whispered
Then overthrown
***
Hands feel warm
Hearts stay cold
Truth gets bent
And lies get sold
***
Hope knocks softly
No one hears
Faith grows weak
From wasted years
***
Trust breaks easy
Love runs slow
Everyone hurts you
Some you chose
***
Dreams feel close
Then slip away
Night says more
Than words by day
***
Scars stay quiet
But they know
Where you’ve been
And what you owe
***
Still you stand
Though worn and bruised
Learning life
Is what you lose

As I can’t reply directly right now, this is my response to the comments on I lost my Voice in 30 hours
Novel Allen, you can’t understand how much this gives me confidence that things will be recovered. Your words really steadied me when I needed it most. Thank you for the reassurance, the honesty, and the reminder to keep moving forward. I truly appreciate it.

WELL DONE
Yes, but you must forgive
I’m really impressed by the pacing on this poem. Short but hard hitting lines, using each word to great effect. A melancholy, jaded sort of sentiment but sometimes that resonates quite loud for me.
