It crawls up to you, late in the evening

It comes slowly like a thief checking the coast

Pain, is something l have lived with my whole life 

For happiness in the story of my life

Is always short-lived, and oh dear pain

Always knows my exact address

It knows which part of my body to hit

Each time it comes l tell myself l will

Cry no more but the pain stings right

Straight in my heart and it bleeds

The tears l see on my face are proof of the pain

Pain to me is my daily bread, 
it makes sure it serves me my daily dose each time l try running away

Dear pain

I am just tired, my heart bleeds and yet the pain stays true to itself and keeps me

Dear pain, it’s me yet again, l know it wasn’t long since l left but l am back in your embrace once again

I guess you and l are soulmates

Dear pain, if only you could erase the ache in my heart.

Dear pain, if l ever wronged anyone please help me apologise.

Dear pain, I want to be free of you

Pain, pain

No one understands you, but l know you very well

Dear pain l am back again, the wet pillow l lie on is proof of the pain my heart feels.
