Every time I see the light <br />I'm pushed back by pain <br />The pain that haunts me <br />The pain that kills me <br />The pain I know <br />Forever a knife in my back <br /> <br />Hope is still in my heart <br />I charge forward brave <br />The hope that keeps me <br />The hope that heals me <br />The hope I need <br />Forever clinging to my soul <br /> <br />Lonliness won't lighten up <br />Forever drifting alone <br />The pain that numbs me <br />The pain that fills me <br />The pain I know <br />Forever a thorn in my side <br /> <br />Happiness is dampened <br />Can't ever fade away <br />The hope that feels me <br />The hope that fills me <br />The hope I need <br />Forever stands at my side <br /> <br />My chest is grieving, shakes unyield <br />My mind is reeling, clouded and dazed <br />My soul is choking, echoing within me <br />My heart is breaking, faintly inside <br />My eyes are glazing, gaze unfocused <br />My hands are falling, dead and lifeless <br /> <br />The pain I have <br />The hope I need <br />The pain that kills <br />The hope that heals <br />The pain I feel <br />The hope I want <br />The pain <br />The hope<br /><br />Jordan Usselman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pain-hope/
