Pain

Of all the stories that have ever been written

I've been assailed

Right off the page

Winter fell across the floor in silence

I just stopped and wondered why

Well it's a cold and strange sad situation

Off the shore tossed by the waves

My every other word misunderstood why

I'd ever speak out loud again

Clinging on so tight

I bled my hands

I draw the shades

And hang my head and run

All those simple things

Essential to me

You cast aside

To go and be alone

You can't see the way I grieve

Love's the air I need to breath

I hope you understand

Just need to find myself again

I see no choice but leaving

So tired of flying alone

On the battlefield

You were never there beside me

Who will I be if I recover from this?

I'm not the enemy

There's so much good inside me

The real you left and never came back home

Round and round oh

There is a rhytm where

Two hearts should meet

A sense of comfort and

A point of common ground

To have and then to hold and then to cry

And then to break upon the waves

You see me through dark eyes

That color me wrong

Immersed inside a world

Where charity dies

And what of all that talk of

How two become one and

I hope you understand

Just need to find some grace again

There seems to be no reason

Rejected off and away

On the battlefield

You were never there beside me

Who will I be should I recover from this?

There are no enemies

Just death of love inside me

The bitter truth of this has come back home
