Hurt
Dusted pavements where I
once walked and played
Are now chalked outlines of
where I now lay
A place of happiness in my
heart it stained
Until hurt reached in and
bleached it away
Sun shine was never too far
from me
But rain storms is now all I see
I once believed I had a heart
and soul
Now after this life I have no
idea where I'll go
For this hurt is buried deep
inside my veins
Even after a injection of life I
still feel the same
This pavement had many
bumpy roads
But I have no idea how much
longer I can carry this load
Now I stand toe to toe
With the man in the mirror all
alone
Trying to figure out where my
happiness was before
Hurt whispered to me it's
mysterious allure
And took me down a road of
misery and despair
While sitting in a electric chair
Hurt is becoming to
accustomed for me
Now it even haunts my dreams
Love and happiness was
something I thought I knew
But all signs point to that not
being true
Maybe it's good I don't have a
seed
So this hurt doesn't leak into
thee
I walked back to the pavement
I once played
To shed a tear for being so
ashamed
Allowing a part of my life to be
erased
And even if I moved I'll still be
the one to blame
For this hurt will remain the
same.
