Endless Pain

( ENDLESS PAIN ) 

The pain will never go away,
The wound will never heal.
The evil that was done to you,
Is now your eyes, your heart.

The black will never turn to gray,
The blood will not congeal.
The violence is never through,
The past does not depart.

Time will merely make you whole,
Consuming what you are.
Part sufferer, part comforter,
Part victim, part new song.

Part mother of an angry soul,
Part child of despair.
Part witness and part conqueror,
Of all that did you wrong.
