They never said it'd hurt this much
God
Why does it hurt so much?
It was supposed to be beautiful
But I only see bruises
Ugly and purple
But they're fading now
Only ghosts
To remind me that you were here once
Just briefly
Just to leave your mark on my heart and soul
Then dissapear suddenly as if you were a flame being blown out
God
Why does this have to hurt so much?
They never said it'd hurt this much

My first write in a while. I'm rusty so this isn't my best but it's something truly personal. Thanks for reading and leave a comment!

Bruises reminding you of someone you love... that is truly sad. I like your style

This is amazing. Even after a big break from writing you still write wonderful things! My favorite part is:
"But they're fading now
Only ghosts
To remind me that you were here once
Just briefly"
I'm on Spring Break this week,
So we should maybe hang out and try to write some.
