One Swing, It Hits, It Hurts

I don't get it...
One swing,
it hurts.

Leaves me bruised, cut,
Why though?
She's my sister.

We're sisters,
it's normal to fight
over nothing.

I don't get it.
One swing,
it hits, it hurts.

She screams...
She gets in my face.
Does she even love me?

She says she loves me,
yet she treats me this way.
Why?

One swing, it hits, it hurts.
Leaves me emotionally scared.
For the rest of my life.

I don't get it.
Why does love hurt so bad?
One swing, one hit.

I love her so..
Does she love me?
Then why this way of her?

Why the attitude?
Why the rebellion?
Why the disrespect?

I don't get it.
I am so confused.
One swing, it hits, it hurts.

But not only does it emotionally
"Hurt"
It emotionally
"kills"

You see, physically..
It does nothing.
Maybe some blood, bruises.

But nothing serious.
In fact I can barely feel it.
One swing.

I don't get it,
it hits, it hurts.
And it murders me inside.

How can that be?
How can this little girl.
murder me inside with one hit?

One swing,
it hits, it hurts.
All emotional.
