Pain

The slow and steady pain

That comes after you’ve been hurt by the same person,
again and again

The one that steady aches until you’re numb

And it makes you think maybe you’re dumb

For being in love

Pain

The one that makes you shiver on cold nights 
while his arms are wrapped around you

The one that keeps you up at night

Thinking maybe this time,

Just this time

He will act right

Maybe spend a few days without a fight

Before my feelings for him take flight

Pain

It feeds his demons with my soul

Quenches his thirst with my tears

I told him all my fears

And he said he’ll ride or die

But now,

He’s switching the gears

Pain

The one that makes you forget you

Snatches your soul

Crushes your dreams

Because of love
