It Still Hurts
.........but it still hurts,
it still hurts.
all these years later, it still hurts.
it grabs hold of me...
it squeezes my heart and soul.
it turns me inside out.
it still hurts.
I was a child.
a baby.
I knew nothing of pain.
now......
all these years later,
pain is my constant companion.
my one true friend.
it still hurts.
I was a child
innocent
playful
loving
trusting
I am no longer a child
and it still hurts.
