Can You Bear It
Can you bear to remember
The pain is like an undying ember
Where the memory is such a drain
That causes you a painful refrain
Do you feel it in your pit of your stomach
As it is replayed as an ache
Then there are days when you wonder
If the recall will drag you asunder
So you test to see if the pain is as bad
Then you find the memory is just as sad
To endure such sadness is a task
When better days are all you ask.
