Unwanted Pain

cheinz27's picture

Drops of pain flow from me
and I am so numb.
Forget not the good times
and never the bad.
Help me to relieve myself
from everything bad.
From everything sad.
Just relieve this stress from
you and where our paths haven't crossed
and where we've losted
what our friendship is.
This pain grows worst
and I can't explain it at all.
I want to be happy
but I'm losing site of you.
Our friendship.
Of us.
These drops of pain
don't just flow from my eyes.
They flow from my heart.
My soul.
Every pore.
Every vein.
And I keep on pushing
but in the end the pain only gets worst
because with every ounce I use to find us
I just gain a lifetime
of this unwanted pain.
