you (II)

Why are you so intent on hurting me?
Does it thrill you?

Or better yet, do you even recognize the sting of your words?
They cut deep.

I am hurt, but I have no intention of hurting back.
Yet somehow, every time, I am the one being blamed.

Do you know that you hurt me over and over, each slap just a bit harder than the one before? What did I ever do to deserve this?

And why... why, oh why, oh WHY, even when I know that you're not right for me, does it hurt so terribly?

Is it possible for you to be kind?
Is that too irrational for me to expect?

Please.
Please stop hurting me.
