Pain is an endless yearning
a time of weakness
& the fall of illusion
Pain is the soul of love betrayed
anxiety’s playground
& the gift of a callous heart
Pain is the thought before the tears
a lie reheard
& deception revealed
Pain is everything fallen apart
a shattered dream
& the foundation of mistrust
Pain is the loss of innocence
a treaded respect
& the deepest of hurts ignored
Pain is the remnant of a discarded bond
a promise corroded
& the most silent of screams
Pain is the home of the defeated
a nightmare undreamt
& the price of blind faith
Pain is the void in a broken soul
a tortured memory
& the nothing that’s left inside
Pain is the ghost of all that remains
the last becoming
& the final emotion
