Sunlight and Shadows


Hurting Sure

Feels like it’s all turned bitter now

The sting of looking like a fool

The burn of being tricked and used

The pieces of each broken rule

The absence of the web I built

The hole where all my work has gone

The yank of being on your string

The frozen shock of being wrong

I feel if I could make you pay

To show that I was really right

Then I could leave this hurt behind

But really this is my own fight

It’s okay, it just takes more time

It hurts but slowly it will heal

I’ve grown and learned and shared myself

I know that what I did was real
