Vicarious Pain

by Syrus   Aug 1, 2010


It kills me to see you breaking,
That same look in your eyes,
The same one that took the heart of me,
That look I've seen a thousand times before,
Despair, forsaken, agony...
It's killing me inside to see it
Written on your body from head to toe
The love you showed,
The passion you had,
The desire you longed for,
Your misery overflowing in your eyes now...
It kills me to hear your words
To listen to you talk,
Hearing the fear slip through your lips,
It reminds me of my once displeasure
For every beautiful moment
That wasn't shared with another...
It's killing me to know your pain
When you look at family photos
And find yourself alone now
Staring through the glass
Watching a future pass...
But what kills me more than anything
Is my fear for what's to ensue,
How your burden is so much more to carry,
But that look, that unforgettable look,
The one that stole my world,
That I saw in the mirror looking back at me
Each and every day,
Will torture you and kill you inside
And take everything from you...(My biggest fear)
