STORY STARTER

'Your words wound me deeply, but your silence hurts even more.'

Write a story or poem opening with, or containing, this line.

It hurt

Your words wound me deeply, but your silence hurts more

And i know you said you love me, but my heart is starting to feel sore

I keep these thoughts inside me, hoping you’ll realize this pain

But the eyes that watch over me cry out tears of blame

I know the blood is cleaner than water, or so you think

I thought this all was worth it but I’ve begun to go

I once had a dream, and I thought it would fortell

The future and what we are, and in that you promised not to sell

me to my enemy, me to my heart, me to my mind

with thoughts that won't stop running,

and I'm starting to think that I'm lucky

But not the ones I'm with

Your words wounded me deeply, and I can't lie-- their cuts were deep

But you saying nothing and becoming nothing

was like it never happened, and it was never something

You words hurt me, but that message on read hurt more

And you saying nothing makes me think you're planning something

what do you have in store?

I wish you would not ignore it, I wish you'd hold me close

but in the end we are just strangers, and you're not my home

I know we said we loved each other, but I guess that was not our fate

was it just a lie, or a broken promise, did I become something for you to hate?

You words hurt a lot, I can't lie about that, even though I know it's not a big deal

I wish you would speak to me, because I don't know how to first,

I wonder if I could help you speak, or perhaps help you heal

But I am not capable of that, it's just simply my curse
