I've been hurt before you know <br />Those aweful words cut deep <br />And left me wounded lying down <br />My eyes were wept with weep <br />I only tried to show my love <br />I'm not a perfect man <br />And beaten down I was at times <br />My hurting soul began <br />The softest heart I tried to show <br />By doing deeds so right <br />But somehow they weren't good enough <br />I didn't want to fight <br />So I've been hurt before so bad <br />My heart was scarred inside <br />Your healing touch of love divine <br />Of joy my tears I cried<br /><br />Bradley Lester<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ve-been-hurt/
