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.
It’s been a while since we talked
I waited on you, not knowing that you’re also waiting on me.
During that time, I’ve sat back and through that pain I’d walk
all those pain you left me with are gone now, I am free.
But then today, you charged back into my life.
Shouldn’t you know better to stay away?
Clearly I’ve gone over it, don’t talk to me, I will strife
Get out! Get out right now, don’t delay!
You kept on with your lies so well
and at the end blamed it all on me.
You never believed when I told the truth, oh hell!
And at the end I’m always the “love” escapee.
Trust me…why wouldn’t you fight your jealousy and lust?
If for once you closed your eyes and actually think
We’re going in circles, my efforts always turned to dusts…
Sacrifices I made flew to forgotten within a blink.
This is it! We’re done. I’m not fooled again
so don’t go beg me, I will not alter.
Enough of the lies, enough of the pain
because I know if I risk again, from you I’ll falter.
Falling in love is hard to do, but when I'm with you it seems so easy.
Loving you was better then a kiss.
Loving you was better then a slit wrist.
We laughed, we played we ever cried some too.
The time passed so fast, yet I ended up empty handed.
The moment slipped away and I fell on my face.
We had a fight and my depression got worse.
We cried and yelled to end up with nothing lost.
You said so many hurtful things, and you think you can take them back so easily?
Punches were thrown, bodies were broken and that small moment slipped away.
The tears I cried soaked up the pain that wrenched in my heart.
The pain once hurt, yet now it's gone.
You picked me up and spun me around.
You put on that fake smile.
You laughed at my pain, you evil lover.
I laughed as I finally saw your true fatal colors.
That final moment slipped away.
-Kallie Mason
Wit each line my soul drift away.
Heart still aching so each night I pray.
Life consume with pain veins fill with rage.
Mind still enslave.
Yet still standing tall until you put me in my grave.
Overwhelm with pride so i refuse to die.
So each night I am (smoking) levitating through the sky.
Conquer love can't you see the fire in my eyes.
Natural born leader but a king with you by my side.
Speaking the truth not uttering one lie.
Still feeling pain but my heart will never die.
Cause in your arms I will always be alive.
Making your pain mine the new Bonnie and Clyde
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.
I was walking along minding my business and it happend.
I fell, hard.
I got up dusted myself off and continued on my way.
Later on I stumbled a couple of times
As if some force was pushing me so I would fall again.
It wasnt until a couple of weeks later that
I realized I hadnt been down that road in a while.
I thought about the time I fell and how I felt no pain.
I wish that was the case now, I looked at my knee and there it was,
a bruise, as if on cue the pain began.
As I stared at my bruise, it along with the pain began to vanish before my eyes.
I grabbed my chest as the pain shot through my heart.
A pain that only you can take away, if you're willing.
The thoughts of you are never ending.
My eye's see you everywhere
My heart longs constantly and my soul is never fulfilled.
Surrender this?
Stop this?
I can not it is beyond me.
I love you more then any before and will love like this for no one after.
Your image your being carries me through the days your strength is my shield.
Some would say the pain the pain why do you suffer this but the pain is only
because we are apart You can not reap the joy without the pain and for that Joy I
will sustain as much pain as any has ever.
While away all is you, while I am with you all is you. Which is better which is worse
neither I would say for in both worlds You are with me and never far away.
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
The first battle is always the hardest they say
But what if the pain never goes away?
I fought for you, I gave my blood
I thought relief would come like a flood
But being with you didn't heal me
In fact it only brought misery
You were vicious, your words hurt
You treated me like I was nothing but dirt
But in my pain I fought to love you
It seems I fail at everything I do
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.
it hurts this pain that i feel
i still cant believe that this pain is for real
the more i try to ignore it
the more the pain becomes a reality
something im not sure that i can face
this pain haunts my dreams at night
always this pain makes me fight
the truth of it all
its just too much
i know for sure im not this tough
its consuming the very depths of my soul
im lost in it
its out of control
the tears that falls down my face
the more i wipe the more its replaced
the words that was spoken is finally seeking in
my pain has won...i had finally given in
i force a smile when asked whats wrong
how can you admit that you were wrong???
so lost in my broken heart i see a light
i have to realize that i will be alright
all i need is just some time
Dancing with shadows letting my mind go
Dodging love spells aimed at my heart
I guess love is a place one must know
It’s a pity no one knows where to start
Counting stars within your eyes
I’m at a million and four
My insecurities could part the skies
Yet of your affection I need more
Rivers of red flow from my wrists
And in their depth I drown
Love cannot be fought with fists
And pain cannot be healed with a frown
I count the smiles you’ve given to me
And still I’ve come to no conclusion
How could real love be so hard to see?
Cupid please save me from this confusion
My nights have become endless nightmares
And days are like a neighbor to hell
My heart is a kid lost at a funfair
Unfortunately my only pain is that I fell
Mpho Lebohang Mokhele
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.
