You keep hurting me.
Pain rarely arrives all at once.
More often, it returns in familiar words, repeated actions, and quiet betrayals that leave wounds too small for others to notice, yet too deep to ignore.
The nail carries only a single drop of red. It is not a dramatic wound—it is the final mark left by countless invisible ones.
The sentence "You keep hurting me." is neither accusation nor revenge. It is the moment when silence finally becomes language.
This work speaks about the exhaustion of being wounded by someone who never realizes that each small act leaves another scar. Sometimes the deepest injuries are not inflicted by enemies, but by those we once trusted most.
