Let Me Take Away your Pain…


 


 


That’s right; let me take away your pain,


 


And give it to someone I disdain,


 


I wish not herein to make you think I do feign,


 


But then again, I really don’t want to see anyone this pain, attain…


 


 


Bad karma may ensue; enough I have in past accrued,


 


Please understand, I don’t want to make you misconstrue ,


 


My desire herein is to see you walk and talk and feel renewed,


 


For you are my friend & confidant, the one whom I talk to when blue…


 


 


So keep this in mind, I will burn a black candle for the rest of time,


 


To keep you from feeling any pain, to transfer it to someone of slime,


 


What I do for you is not in any way, shape or form, a crime,


 


I just want you not to feel the pain, to find peace, as you are in your prime…

Wonder what the world would be like if others thought this way? Hope Rufuz is better and figure that is "to whom" you are speaking. When someone cares, the pain is less. Thanks for being one who cares. b

PS Will you be posting a list of the 'Slime' you refer to?
