The Pain That Follows

Poem : The Pain That Follows
By: Ashley Eureeka Jones-Holmes


It's like I never get away,
I'm stuck in the same place
Going in circles
Trying to find my way out
But it follows me everywhere I go
In the morning, evening, at night 
It doesn't matter what time, what place, it creeps up on me
The pain of anger of guilt and regrets
This pain hurts I can feel it in my chest 
 The pain that follows you can never get away from it
Pain can be love 
Pain becomes painful
This  pain I didn't ask for 
You can forget about the pain
But you can still feel it
The that pain that follows
