And now I'm reading

all the words

I wrote about you

the words that describe my feeling

of being seen

the words that remind me

exactly how much faith

I put into you

the words that emerged

from my hands

in the name of your love

the words that now 

scream at my face

because now

they seem meaningless

and for nothing

for you hurt me in a way

I've never been hurt before
