Hurt

I hope you know it hurts
to know I don’t have your trust.
I have done nothing
not to deserve it.

I hope you know it hurts
when you tease me endlessly.
I have asked you to stop,
yet you pay me no mind.

I hope you know it hurts
when you don’t listen.
Am I really so unimportant
that you can’t pay attention to my words?

I hope you know it hurts,
everything you say.
It’s not as easy as you think,
to live under your roof.

I hope you know it hurts
that you can bring tears
so easily to my eyes.
I just want to be through.
