Unbearable Pain

Living in the shadows, of my past,
Looking back seems just like yesterday,
Thinking of what had happened,
Every detail sketched in my memory,
Each moment, and second, repeats in my mind,
as I lay in bed wondering, will this pain ever go away.

Will I ever forget what had happened?
Can it ever be that way...?
If life has its ups and downs, then why does this memory stay.
Retaining every bit, realizing it is still there,
Why does it make me suffer, when will this pain go away

Will this sorrow ever end?
In this everlasting journey I have seemed to witness,
Such a cruel obstacle that the world had to offer.
Giving light to my life, increases the shadows.
Staying in darkness is my will, the way i want to stay. 

Clogged up in my thoughts, in a unstable mode.
Mute, and silent, as the world grows
I remain possessed in these thoughts
locked in the chambers of anguish,
In a world of despair, Soon i wont be able to bare.
