Isn't it Sad
By Jennifer Herrera
Isn't it sad
When you've gotten so hurt
You can finally say
'I'm used to it'.
Isn't it sad,
To see someone you care for hurt you,
In a way only they can.
To see them smile at your discomfort,
While you stare at the eyes that feed off your pain
Isn't it sad
For you to see your hero be the one who's bringing you down.
To see their loving arms bring you so much discomfort.
Isn't it sad
When you're finally ready for everything that the world might give to you.
Only for it to hand you pain,
Destruction,
And heartache.
Isn't it sad
for me to feel so safe in your arms
To feel so loved,
While you stab me in the back
Tearing me down
Isn't it sad
When you've gotten so hurt
You can finally say
'I'm used to it'.
