they are for the ones
who want to be hurt,
who want to dwell
in the pain
you want to give them.
Your words are not for me,
because I choose
them not to be.
You say them to me
and hope to see
my reaction
my pain.
It would give you
such a pleasure to know
that you can hurt me,
but
your words are not for me,
I'm not going to give you
the satisfaction of hurting me.
