Hurt By Words Poem by Vivian Nguyen

I am very hurt,
You'd told me a lie,
Your words were nice once,
Then they had me cry.

I am very hurt,
A lie so, so strong,
You'd told me: 'just us',
That was an ill song.

I am very hurt,
By one simple lie,
I stayed for too long,
Though, I can't ask: 'why'.

I am very hurt,
My tears are for you,
They were very loud,
Cried out like a screw.

I am very hurt,
You'd never heard me,
Who cried just 'for us',
Those words on your knee.

I am very hurt,
My loud tears, not heard,
Hurt more than bleeding,
To you: me, absurd...?
