Wounds won't heal

I'm  lying here tonight
All alone in this bed
My memories of you
Dance through my head.

They cause my tears
To fall down like rain
Why do your memories
Have to come with pain?

My favorite memory of us
It hurts me most of all
It's the one that will
Always make me bawl.

It squeezes my heart
With all it can strain
And laughs as I fall down
Unable to endure the pain.

The tears keep falling
And the pain to build
But my love for you
Refuses to ever yield.

Though this heartbreak
I continue to love you still
Only when I stop loving you
Will these wounds ever heal.
