PAIN

No use complaining 
No one can hear
Any more

No use crying
No one can see tears
Any more

No use bemoaning your fate
Because that is why
It is called fate. 

No one stopped caring
Love is still there but
Your cross is yours to bear

Can love overcome  
Self-stealing pain
Struggling again and again

The life that I have 
is all that I have
But is it still mine

To be is to feel
To feel is to love
Can we love in pain

Must pain destroy
All that I am
In the blink of an eye

I am not pain 
My pain is not me
How could that be

And yet here I stand
Struggling to be
Please set me free

I still want to live
I long to still love
To cherish and give

But pain ties my hands
Shackles my feet
He’s a bastard to beat.
