Pain Is the Sweetest Sorrow
Chaos and destruction, creating ashes of sorrow and despair.
Overflowing like an open ashtray at a crowded table.
The scalding cinders cause soars of silken red.
A sweet pain far worse than an eve I've sustained.
The memory of your death, still fresh inside my mind.
Want to take a drill to awl them all out.
This pain cries out, trying to bring forth the tears.
Yet none come, and I still feel all alone.
Are you happy where your are now?
Is there a heaven out there after all?
At least you no longer suffer as life often makes us do.
If I wouldn't hurt other people I'd join you.
So sleep eternal my faithful friend.
For I know we'll me again in the end.
