Pain

 I sit there with pain in my eyes

with my heart aching

trying to trust and trying to heal

the burning I feel will not stop

nor can I make it

 

I try to make you see

the aching that I feel

You just look at me

with nothing to say

 

I try to explain with what I can

how the pain runs deep

and the fire never stops

 

For those I care about

always find a way

to find that whole

cause more pain

 

I will never leave you

are the famous last words

the conversations ceased

I am left to wonder

what did I do

what did I do this time

 

You were my friend

yet you hurt

maybe I was just stupid

allowed you in

 

my heart now guarded

my trust is no more

I am tired

of hurting

aching

even bleeding with pain
