Hurt

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

- Trent Reznor
"Hurt"

The best version of this song I heard was the rendition by country legend Johnny Cash. Talk about a song that provokes instant crying. This song sums up how I've felt over the last two weeks: the guilt, the pain, the loss. That's really all I can say now.
