Your hollow words cut like knives

All I do is try

Try to find a place in your heart

To make it hurt a little less

All you do is turn away

Once again I’m in your way

The few words we share

Always fly right past you

Your hollow responses fill me

Making me realize constantly

That I’m nothing more than a nuisance

Crying silently to myself

Hiding so much you’ll never know

How much each word cuts

Through my heart and into my soul

Ripping it apart over and over again

What did I do to make you hate me?

How can I be better?

Unanswered questions silent as night

Each time it cuts deeper than before

Forming a pit deep in my heart

I’m not the little girl I used to be

I’ve grown and I’ve learned

How cruel the world can be

Needing for acceptance and love

Getting only hate and greed
