Wounds

And all of your words
Inflicted wounds upon me

So I chose to brave this battle alone,
Cause my ailments are to be dealt with
On my own

But some sentences were saltier than others
Some phrases poked my heart harder;

The day everything changed remains on replay in my mind
And the clock stops when you said that to me–

Those three words

So tiny;

Left ginormous scars on my heart
