The Definition Of Pain

by Christina McDowell   Dec 30, 2006


Let me tell you all about
All my experiences
And my doubt
And associations

Here's the meaning:
The Definition of pain
The true reasoning
Of possibly becoming insane

Blame your man
Or anything else
Ignore what you can
So you don't melt

This is the truth
Sadly from what I know
There's nothing to sooth
Or settle down and slow

Here's the definition
You won't want to feel
Watch all the precautions
Cuz this world is too real

The blade that slices your heart
That takes away your breath
The pain that takes you apart
And causes your death

To close your eyes
And never open them again
To stop those cries
And finally have your life end

Let go of your grip
Stop that heartbeat
Close your eyes as your heart rips
And forget the sadness and defeat

It's going to tear you up inside
As you split at the seams
Within, it won't subside;
That frightful scream

Take all of me away
Take all my hate
To not see another day
And change my fate

To enter another world
To forget all our sorrow
To forget those painful words
And not think of the light of tomorrow

Live if you can
But if you can't, bid goodbye
Live on with your man
But if you can't, lie down and slowly die...

    Tina another great piece by you. The pain of not having someone with you is a terrible feeling. You can feel your hurt that you write. Excellent job!
