Second By Second

Second By Second

Only a real jerk
Could be so cruel
To say those words of pure hatred
The words
That make you shrink inside
Break you up in pieces
Twisting your heart
Making the pain
More intense
Numerous emotions flow through me
But lastly sadness
Making me want to break down
In salty water from my soul
So much revenge towards you
What did I do?
To deserve these heartless words
I can only think of...
Nothing
Those ten seconds of verbal bullets
Killing me
Attempting murder
To my heart and soul
