I stand and view the sun
as it burns the pain in me
I fell the heart on me
but it kills the pain in me
I wish it fills me with life
but it takes the life from me
I heard the sound of hope
but it's far away from me
I look to the sky for help
but the sky is dark as night
I pray for morning to come
but darkness fills the cloud
like the sound of whisper
I felt the life out of me
like the wind that beats goes bye
the head that wear the crown
I felt the pain in me
I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAID I WAS HAPPY,
THAT BEING ALONE WITHOUT YOU ISN'T CRAPPY.
I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAID I DIDN'T LOVE YOU,
THAT I DIDN'T HURT AFTER EVERYTHING WE WENT THROUGH.
I WOULD BE A LIER IF I SAID IF FELT NOTHING,
BUT YOU WOULD SEE RIGHT THROUGH MY BLUFFING.
I'M NOT ONE TO BE LYING WHEN THE TRUTH IS APPARENT,
WHEN MY PAIN IS SO MUCH THAT IT IS TRANSPARENT.
THE TRUTH IS THAT SINCE YOU LEFT I DON'T SLEEP,
THAT EVERY MOMENT I BEGIN TO THINK OF YOU I WEEP.
THE TRUTH IS THAT I CAN'T GIVE YOU UP SO EASILY,
NOT AFTER LOVING YOU FOR SO LONG SO INTENSELY.
THE TRUTH IS THAT I FEEL THE PAIN OVERFLOW IN MY CHEST,
THAT OF ALL OF THE THINGS IN MY LIFE YOU WERE THE BEST.
I feel nothing
I am numb inside
My heart has been broken
I am at a loss
There is nothing left
The pain overtook the joy I once felt
A destructive behavior tore apart my very hope
I have no choice then to give up
And not look back
My veins are broken and misplaced
I have absolutely no place of comfort
No safe haven
I have chains that shackle my feet and keep me grounded
Where I am pulled and tortured
For you brought the pain and left me to the shame in this game you played.
A part of me has vanished
without you in my life
The pain that ive experienced
with all the sleepless nights
Hope that once was
has been buried deep within my soul
The life I once thought I was guiding
has somehow lost all control
To say I'm weakened would be an understatement
crushed has a better appeal
They say you haven't begun living til your heart breaks
I guess now my life is real
The irony makes me wonder
Is love what we really seek?
Or do we constantly hurt one another
while pain envelopes the meek
I must tell you something
You always know how to make my day
When I see your smile...I grin
When I hear your laugh...I laugh
When I feel your hugs....I know they are filled with love
When I hear your voice...I fill up with butterflies
When I see you look at me...I can only make eye contact for less then a second before
the pain returns
It makes me sad that we aren't each others...
When I see you unhappy...I want to do anything to make you happy once again
When I hear you cry...I cry
When your in pain..I know I did something to cause the pain
When I hear your voice...I fill with sadness
When I see you look at me...I can only make eye contact for less then a second before
the pain returns
I guess what I'm trying to get at is that I need you and want you in my life from here on
out!
After today I hope when I see you I don't fill pain but with butterflies
I love you...my lil monster :(
I have a strange feeling in my stomach
I can't relate to what it is.
Is it the pain that suddenly appears
Because you can no longer be near?
I fooled myself
I thought I could handle
The burning flame
Without the candle.
I was mistaken,
Now I see.
For the match that lit the flame,
Was none other than thee.
Trust my intuition?
I no longer can.
For it would surely get out of hand.
Despite the pain I feel inside,
I bow out gracefully,
For I have lied.
I said I understood,
And it was okay.
But as for my heart, I know-
It will never be the same.
Sadness & Sorrow.
Regret & Shame
Loneliness & Pain
Feelings that run deep.
Emotions that overcome.
Tears in my eyes.
Fear in my heart,
For the one that I love is far from my touch.
I am to blame.
I will live with the shame.
The hurt & pain I caused runs deep.
Minute by minute, day by day
I can only try to absorb the hurt & pain away.
Love is dead
i am dying
thinking of him
as i start crying
with nothing but memoreis
to numb my pain
remembering it all as i watch my blood drain
it rolls down my arm and falls to the floor
accepting the pain as i go back for more
my careless strokes cutts the stitches of my skin
releasing all my thoughts and pain thats building up within
-Spencer dedicated to Sergio Sosa
Indigo child came crashing on your dark
perspectives could not have coalesced
less than my essence and your soul,agony
the echo, hollow, whispers pain in solace
Your eyes so tight and small spoke of emptiness
and angst etched in the wrinkles of your face
the end of us was in the pain of our first glance
long suffering and stoic we mingle and remain
aesthetics did not exist for you and I
as countenance from essence does arise
for yours was never pleasing to my eyes
your silence screams that I was not your dream
your eyes small and hollow filled with pain
first glance was all it took to see our end
(c) Katherine Wyatt 2010
I loved u I was there
I heard your cry
I heard your pain
I felt the warmth of love drift
From your heart
I loved you
Was it a waste
I was there for you
For us the pain will always last
My first love drifts away when
It rains snows but why
I don't want to give up nor in
I love you I do I do
The way you touched me
The way you held me it meant
A lot to me
But your right were different so my
Love was a waste thank you for the
Pain it will last forever!!!
Sad to the touch
I hope i did whats right for u,
becuz this pain i feel is almost unbearable..,
and right now i wish i could say goodnight,
as id die. ,
But instead ill sing ur favorite lullaby.
I may look quite calm,
I might be quite happy.
But on the inside I'm screaming,
inside im swimming,
in a sea of confusion.
PLease dont hate me,
please dont scar,
id hate to have never held you in my arms.
I hope i did whats right for u,
because the pain i feel is almost unbearable.
I feel myself fading,
I am hurting so badly that i feel numb.
The tears are still rolling down my cheeks.
And baby I feel like I need your love.
I just hope you dont hate me.
I did this for you.
And now I want to bleed anew.
It burns like it’s the fire in Hell,
It hurt’s as my soul wept..!!
The hurt brings me the pain unknown;
As I live with a wounded soul..!!
Hate, such a dark feeling,
Yet, can’t help but feel..!!
Bad of other’s is not what I want..;
Yet, can’t stop my mind from wishing..!!
Ma heart works hard to fight..;
Yet, can’t win over the hate that grows within..!!
Hate, such a dark feeling,
Yet, can’t help but feel..!!
Forgiveness, is what’s right,
Yet, can’t forget that pain..!!
Betrayed is worse than being killed,
Yet, can’t die & am forced to live..!!
Shame, is all the past brings..;
Along with the tears for my hearts plight..!!
Forgiveness, is what’s right,
Yet, can’t forget that pain..!!
It burns like it’s the fire in Hell,
It hurt’s as my soul wept..!!
The pain brings me the pain unknown;
As I live with a wounded soul..!!
In the darkness there are places
That no one's ever seen
Guarded by a wicked one
A kind of devilish fiend
He rejoices over heartaches
And revels in our cries
He causes pain I can't explain
With love as his disguise
He catches all our teardrops
And brews them into tea
He drinks it with our broken dreams
That keep him company
He mocks us when we cannot sleep
In dark and lonely places
He reminds us of the love we lost
And shows us all their faces
Wayward hope become his teeth
To chew our broken smiles
He decorates his domicile
With all our pain filled files
In the darkness there are places
You will never wanna see
Guarded by a wicked one
Known as "Misery"
Every night I lay wide-awake.
My heart just sits here and aches.
Something has me in this strain,
But I can handle this pain.
The pain slowly came.
For you are the one I blame.
I might say I am a rebel,
But when the pain hits its pure hell!
You used to make my life complete.
Now all the memories are bittersweet.
After that it is just sour.
The pain is compared to jumping off the Eiffel Tower.
I’ll never make you feel the pain you left me.
Because I still love you, don’t you see?
So now you say bye and just impart.
While you leave me alone with a broken heart…
It was a tear to fill an ocean,
just one, crystal clear,
contained the pain of yester year,
the weight of all the lies.
Just one, crystal clear,
that tear, clutched all I’ve ever feared;
the weight of all the lies.
Very small in size, but yet,
that tear, clutched all I’ve ever feared
contained the pain of yester year,
very small in size, but yet,
it was a tear to fill an ocean.
