Pain

Dear pain,
Remind me in case I've forgotten,
What relationship exists between us.
Tell me how it all started
The bad blood and hate towards me
That keeps you tormenting me,
Giving me a real taste of hell's stench
No matter how often I choose to let you win.

When a good day comes my way
You curse with and between your teeth
Till you get my gown all soiled up,
Wet with my own tears and blinded by sadness
That the altar I see no more.
Each smile that sprouts through my cheeks,
You use as the trigger
To generate me more agony and regret
That I can't wish for breath but my casket.

I fight you not,unless I seek to be free,
Off the cuffs of your slavery
That leads me always to the closed gates.
Don't you see how bad you are?
You shorten my life whenever hope fills my heart,
And stand in the way of my every plan.
In every Godly story,you want to be the devil's child,
And you're that beast's lover I've always read in tales,
My long gone and unrecognizable ancestor,
That appears in my dreams to scare me out of my sleep.

You plead innocence while you riot against peace!
Say it to my face,why you weigh me down,
Giving me more darker days than nights,
Eating my flesh off my bones day by day,
Making red the color of my eyes like I drink from blood;
Loosening my skin's elasticity that I've grown wrinkles
At my young age,
When my beauty should be my grandmother's envy;
Admit to me,
If you're that unsatisfiable spirit of the witches,
That demands sacrifice after sacrifice!

I seek to understand,
Whether you are attracted to me by Van der waal forces,
Or whether I was chosen to be held your hostage,
In a heist that earns you no game.
Am I serving to you under a renewable contract,
That whenever my time is up,
You automatically renew it to keep me yours forever?
The newly wed may divorce tomorrow,
Why not we, two enemies that cross not paths?
You can not kill me for you have not the power,
So each time I kneel down and close my eyes to pray,
I'll always report you to the greatest of all
For in him is my only hope you can't take from me!
