Will It Ever Stop Hurting?

When pain felt pain

Deep red fountains emerged from its skin,
Flowed down like rivers in a canyon,
Fell down to the ground like massive waterfalls,
To mix with the puddle of tears on the ground.
“My body hurts,” it said,
“I never imagined it would hurt this much,
I cut myself trying to feel what I made others feel.”
Pain, felt pain that day,
The ground was deep red,
The cut was big enough to kill it,
But it could not die, it had to suffer.

“ We hurt others, not knowing the consequences of our actions, we make people sad, not knowing what they might go through, we break others’ trust not knowing if they will ever be able to trust again after that. When we truly go through the consequences of our actions, is when we truly realize that we were wrong all along.”
