Like Knives

I’m slowly breaking into pieces

The pain I am in I can’t bare

The things we do and the things we say aren’t fair to each other

Your words are like knives

The more you say the deeper the wound

I wish you could see the pain they cause

Please open your eyes

See the true reality

The wounds you make will soon break me

A piece of me you constantly take

It’s not healthy to live this way

Fighting the same battle everyday

It never changes

It’s never ending

I wish it would just go away

Your words cut like knives

Do you see that I am hurting

Or do you just not care

I’m not perfect but neither are you

This is a heartbreaking piece and I can connect with it. Sometimes we become part of relationships that turn toxic or unhealthy and it is hard to get outselves out of it and to admit its time to part. This was wonderfully written.

I feel your pain here. Words can do so much damage, and love the comparisons and metaphors used in this piece.. :)

Knifes are an excellent metaphor for the deepness of pain one feels with each sharp word spoken.

Spoken words within a deep pain, I understand every word and the feel of it all. A love is a very hard concept sometimes, we wonder in the depths of all why! Why did they put us before all that hurt pain the days of no sleep and tears and not eating. It wasn't worth in the end we see,but it truly hurts I know seen it way more than id ever want. You did awesome making a poem of the emotions:))))))))))))))))))

Words can cut deeper than any knife can sometimes, and those words can never be taken back… You expressed your self in simple terms but powerful in nature..

This song reminds me of your poem

that was really great, alot of emotion, to me, negative words that are meant to hurt people leave a scar that doesn't ever go away
