It Hurts
Even though I may act tough about it
It hurts on the inside more than ever
even though i may hold back the tears
it hurts to make my emotions hide
even though i threaten to move out
it hurts to say it, because i could never do it
even though you sometimes notice other girls more than me
it hurts to think about you with someone else
even though you would rather leave than relax with me
it hurts to watch you want to do something that must be better
even though sometimes i feel like you only want one thing,
it hurts to feel that if i dont give you'll get it somewhere else
even though i KNOW you check girls out right in front of me,
it hurts when you tell me you didnt
even though i KNOW you have lied to me in the past
it hurts to think you might be doing it all the time
even though you get mad and snap at me too
it hurts to not cry, so i just get more angry
even though you tell me everything will be fine
it hurts to bite my tongue with some things because i know it wont be
even though you tell me you aren't doing some things,
it hurts to tell you i dont believe you, but i do
even though you say i love you and sometimes i dont say it back
it hurts not to, but sometimes i wonder if we are being true to ourselves
even though im writing this while its taking place,
it hurts because i know no one will ever understand why it hurts.

this poem you have written, is among some of the most best ive read, because it made me feel so bad about things i have done to loved ones in the past. it makes me want to apologize to all those i took advantage of in my foolish youth. it is very rare for a poem to touch me this way, i loved and hated it at the same time. i think everyone in the world should have to read such a poem, it makes me want to appreciate things more, thank you
