oh, how it was and it is

oh the pain

the pain

it never leaves you

you're reminded every day why it's there

it doesn't seem to want to let you go

oh the pain

the pain

it's always there

even when you think it's not

it doesn't seem to want to let you go

oh the pain

the pain

it's terrifying to feel

many sleepless nights because of it

it doesn't seem to want to let you go

oh the pain

the pain

it's excruciating

it's paralyzing

it's never ending

you can't seem to let it go

they say you're supposed to forgive and forget

they say you're supposed to love like god

they are leaving one important detail out

you are human

Disclaimer:

Like any pain poetry piece, this was written in the depths of despair. I held onto the piece until I was healed from this particular pain. While I'm not perfectly healed, I would never post anything like this if I was still enduring these feelings. If you need help, reach out to a friend. Call someone. Call for help. Call anyone you can trust.
