Poetry: Hurting

by Karissa Mcclellan

When my life came crashing down,
You were always there to hep me,
But now it's like you don't see me,
Like you can't hear me,
Like I don't like even exist.

I feel afraid when you're gone,
Ever since you've stopped talking to me,
I've been depressed.
You know almost everything there is to know about me,
Yet I know only so little about me.

I know I hurt you,
And for that I'm sorry.
It's like there's a tennis match,
Going on between us....
To find out who can inflict more pain unto the other.
Well... I'm tired of this game so I quit.
I'm not going to hurt you again.
