You said things to make me happy, <br />You said things to cheer me up, <br />But all those were forgotten words when you hit me, <br /> <br />You said things to make me feel at home, <br />You said things to make everything ok, <br />But everyone of those words were forgotten when you beat me, <br /> <br />You said things to keep our secret, <br />You said things to keep yourself safe, <br />All killing me. <br /> <br />All those words forgotten with the wrongs you did to me, <br />All those words forgotten with each stinging blow, <br />All those words left dangling in the air when striking me.<br /><br />Kathryn Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forgotten-words-2/
