Does it hurt?

You look at me through eyes of red, jealousy?

I got away from you and now you want me back

You should have worked harder when you had the chance

Put more into the relationship, much more

Treated me better, showed you loved me more

Does it hurt?

To know I have another, someone new

Someone who loves me for who I am

Happy with me, happy for me

A smile even when there is nothing to smile for

Easy for her to say ' I love you'

You struggled, always

Does it hurt?

When you look at me and I am happy

Does it make you angry, sad, resentful?

You had your chances, and there were lots

I tried to make it work, believe me

But there is only so much pain a person can take

And I took more than my share

You hurt me, you destroyed me, you belittled me

So I ask again, does it hurt?
