Sunset

My pain still burns on in my chest And I still feel it in the night But now it's all coming to rest And these memories are not such a blight I feel the things they say I should feel And I still think sometimes of you But now It's easier to bring it to heel And now my thoughts less often brew I know it will eventually all be gone And I thank God that it doesn't well up so much These feelings I held for so long Are pushed down now at my slightest touch I can now more easily forget And turn my thoughts away a while Now this pain is like a sunset And slowly I raise my head and smile
