The Pain I've Suffered

by heather   Mar 6, 2004


A darkened room
lit by the dimmest candle
glistening waxy white
a shaped bronze handle
placed by the window
for all passers to see
so very close to being out
so close to being free
the flame flickers in the wind
as the wax drips down the side
like hot tears melting away
the candle also cries
the concept of this pain
is too much for me to grasp
to plead for my forgiveness
is far too much to ask
it was my mistake
to devote myself to you
and therefore am at fault
for the pain I've been thru
I should have seen the truth
that I really had no chance
but nothing could destroy the love
I felt since our first dance
shredded photos and loveletters
form piles on the floor
I've heard all the apologies
I don't wanna hear one more
deperate words tremble on my lips
and fall into the empty air
speaking prayers to deaf ears
to friends who never cared
dark days
turn into even darker nights
reaching out into futile blindness
begging you to take this life
the days I spend are painful
shunned by those who used to be friends
the jokes and fun we used to share
have come to a bitter end
the wick on the candle begins to burn low
and the glow is fading fast
all the tears and hurt are lost
gone with the torture of the past

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!
