You Hurt Me

You don’t know how to help me, so you don’t try.

I tell you how to help me, so you don’t help me.

I tell you how upset I am, so you upset me more.

I tell you that I slur my words, so you punish me.

I tell you I need you to listen, so you don’t listen.

I tell you how lonely I am, so you leave me alone.

I tell you that I’m scared, so you make me afraid.

I tell you that I’m broken, so you break me more.

You only know how to hurt me, so you hurt me more.
