Recall

I recall on what was once a bliss,
Smiling faces, great gifts, sealed with kisses,
Then I dwell an my hell,
As the toll of bells called lies ring,
Then I hear the bells called hatred,
Followed by deceit,
Next come the toll of bells called pain,
And I remember how you inflicted so much upon me,
And through all the lies you were telling me and,
Through all the pain you continue to bring,
Through all my tears flowing,
And with my smiles fading,
Only to find that if I pray
My troubles won't last always.
