Her Name is Pain
 

She hovers in your memory
 

Like a vulture seeking prey;
 

A constant repeat nightmare
 

That haunts your night and day.
 

Sure, she’s still breathing
 

Cause you let her suck your air.
 

She should have moved along by now
 

But her legacy’s still there.
 

Her name is Pain.
 

She circles you
 

And won’t release your heart.
 

Fear is her fame.
 

It smothers you
 

And hides you from your own heart.
 

Hopeless is her game.
 

Life is here
 

Daily offering a new start.
 

A wretched, evil siren;
 

Like a witch who casts a spell.
 

I’d like to crack her mirror
 

And smash her ego well. 
 

I know her power isn’t absolute.
 

There’s a way to make it right.
 

Deprive her of her interest.
 

Let life steal her delight.
 

I’ll be your night light.
 

I’ll hold you in the dark.
 

Find a way to trust me
 

And I’ll protect your heart.
 

When you’re ready I’will help you
 

Call the lie reclaimed
 

And together we’ll defeat her
 

And never again fear her name.
 

Her name is Pain.
 

She circles you
 

And won’t release your heart.
 

Fear is her fame.
 

It smothers you
 

And hides you from your own heart.
 

Hopeless is her game.
 

Life is here
 

Daily offering a new start
