Pain

--dedicated to my friend Laura Breidenthal... I really wish I could be there for you more... ----------------------------- Pain Pain is here Pain is there Pain is in the mind Pain is kind Pain is cruel Makes us a fool Your pain My pain our pain her pain his pain their pain Pain is life Pain is the edge of the knife Pain is worry and strife Pain is knowing I cannot comfort you Pain is doing all I can do To try and help anyway Pain is sorrow Pain is today, yesterday, and tomorrow Pain is always and forever Pain ends never Pain is the smile on the face That vanishes without a trace Your pain... it's the worst pain I wish to take your pain Drown it with the rain I WISH TO HAVE YOUR PAIN I wish I wish Pain does not comply It remains...a calloused lie Pain is there Pain is here Pain is the worry that tomorrow Tomorrow will only bring sorrow Pain is NOT BEING ABLE TO COMFORT YOU! Pain is the futile attempt to make that smile appear to you Pain is knowing it's all to no avail Pain is know I just fail Pain is here Pain is there Your pain My pain Pain are the tears that constantly flow behind the closed eyes Pain is hoping we never have to say goodbye Pain is strife Pain is life Pain is the series of irrational cuts on the skin Pain is the forced stretched fake grin Pain I see in your eyes Pain I wish was all a lie Pain I wish to take away And allow happiness to stay Pain Pain Pain is always there But if I could I'd take all your pain away...
