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'.
