Pain

Have you ever hurt so badly
That you can feel it in your throat?
The pain that engulfs your heart
And slowly swallows your soul.
Have you ever heard some news
And your chest completely caves?
Your eyes can’t produce tears
Because your heart has so much pain.
Have you ever felt your face turn red
And you have to say “I’m fine”?
Inside you feel you've given up
But people say “give it time”.
Truly the worst pain to feel
Is a heart that has no feeling.
And you have to live a normal life
With a dead heart that’s still beating.
