Burden of Hurt

The pain runs deep into Affliction of the moon In nightmares lead astray That carry on into the day And all I can pretend That I am on the mend When shame and hurt reveal It’s only courage that can heal The pain runs deeper still An infection that could kill And so I hold myself away In loneliness I pray And all my dreams are gone As I spiral through the wrong Where the only thing that’s true Was the time I spent with you My hurt claims every depth It wants my every breath My hurt leaves me unknown It leaves me all alone Yet the darkness of this place Will still not ever turn my face And though the pain will steal my mind At least my soul can never die
