Hurt - A Poem
Inspired by the song Hurt (NIN)
11/8/2011
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focused on the pain
The only thing thats real
This song spins in my head
It's meaning pierces thru
I'm struggling with your death
I wish it weren't true
There's no needle in my arm
I feel distant and far
Nothing pierces thru my chest
Still I wear the scar
How do I go on
Without your embrace
I try to remain strong
I try to keep the faith
In searching for myself
I only see your face
I keep on slipping back
Into this dark and lonely place
They call me widow now
How can this be?
I still think you'll come home
I still think we'll be free
But you are greater now
Than I'm allowed to be
The Grief still beats me down
The tears don't let me see
Who will I become?
Where will this lead?
Will I make it thru?
How long will my heart bleed?
I can't rest at all
Are you here with me?
I am so confused
God won't let me see
