For This Sickness

I feel my stomach turn
My head is pounding
My limbs are shaking
And I cannot make them stop
Do I blame you
Or do I blame myself
For this sickness that I feel
We both played a large role
In this fight
When you threw out harsh words
And I threw mine back
All of the little things
That the other thing to make us mad
Came spilling out of our mouths
Like a stream of hate
There is anger behind our words
And a sense of resentment
For the other
Maybe it isn’t for real
And maybe our hate will fade
With time
This might be the end
With the pain the I feel
Almost nothing
What am I to do?
Forgive and forget?
Pretend I never heard those words?
Or felt the hatred
Emitting from them
How am I to move on
When they burn in my mind
The expression that says
Words Will Never Hurt Me
Is a childish and ignorant
Words hurt so much more
Than a punch
You’ve hurt me deeply
I do think I’ll be able to
So easily forget
You hit me in
Some very sensitive spots
I hope you are very happy
I feel my stomach turn
My head is pounding
My limbs are shaking
And I cannot make them stop
Do I blame you
Or do I blame myself
For this sickness that I feel
