Pain you won't own, <br />Owns you, in the end; <br />The dark water comes <br />And you forgot how to swim. <br />Friends you don't owe <br />Try to lift you toward light- <br />But the moon stays the solitary <br />Sun, of the night. <br /> <br />Debts you won't pay <br />Try to sell you, each day; <br />Your heart on your face <br />Though you'd die, before saying.. <br />The hooks in your soul <br />Keep pulling you under- <br />And there's lightning in eyes <br />But a strange, silent thunder. <br /> <br />The vault will be silent <br />The grass will be still <br />When they put you away <br />For forever, to seal <br />The pain you were dealt, <br />And the debts left unpaid; <br />They will never be spoken- <br />For it’s now much too late.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pain-you-won-t-own/
