Hurt Me More 'Cause You'Ve Not Hurt Me Enough Poem by Edgar John Jackson

You want me to be Romeo and Juliet in one
While I just dream of giving you the sun
You want me to be a stone and a thick wall
While I am always waiting for your call

Now I stop why I’m losing my mind
Figuring out a reason to find:
“You hurt me more ‘cause you’ve not hurt me enough”
And I see my days getting rough…

You always hurt me more, don’t you?
You’re the one I wait for, isn’t it tough?
You just belittle more, don’t you?
Hurt me more ‘cause you’ve not hurt me enough.

Let me down, Just pass me by
Bring me down, Just say good bye
Work it out, when I just cry
There’s no doubt, could you lie?

You want me to understand why you’re not here
But you have to know why it is not my fear
There were promises I just could hear
But I will fade them away as I dry a tear.

There are no words, there is no side
When you can’t defend that someone has lied
I can not take you for granted now
But you want me to forget this feeling somehow.
