Pain

Pain is indescribable
It strives to devour every inch of you
And it has no mercy

Pain is a monster
Living inside you
Eating you alive

Pain is a wild raging fire
Engulfing every part of you
Burning a hole in your heart

Pain leaves you expressionless
It’s what makes your tears bitter
It’s what makes you bleed inside

It wants your world to collapse
It’s what makes you fall apart
It’s what leaves you hopeless

Pain is a journey
A very cruel and difficult journey
But one that I am taking with you

I am with you every step you take
Not to guide you
But to live this nightmare with you

Your pain is like carrying the world on your shoulders
And nothing can take it away
But I will take your hand and help you carry it

Pain creates the most terrible wounds
But in time they will heal, leaving painful scars
But also beautiful memories

It feels like your life has fallen to pieces
But pure love will piece it back together
God’s love
