When everything seems to go dark <br />I can see clearly <br />I can feel it all <br />Unspoken words bounce off the prison in my mind <br />An outside world so foreign to my tastes <br />Knowledge of things I can’t forget <br />Moments of hate and pure regret <br />Make me resent it al again <br />Physically, I may be here <br />But if you looked you’d see I’m not <br />Maybe I never will <br />I wonder how you sleep at night <br />How can you not hear tortured screams? <br />How can your nightmares be peaceful dreams? <br />How could he say he’d be back soon? <br />I never got to say goodbye <br />I still haven’t told him the reason why <br />Maybe I never will <br />Every night I tell myself lies <br />When will the pain go away? <br />Can I turn back from what I want? <br />Does the hurt ever truly leave? <br />Because, now I think I’m beginning to see <br />Life can’t be so insignificant <br />If it is, then it’s all been for nothing <br />Wishing for it to leave won’t do a thing <br />Praying hasn’t helped release me <br />Everything I do is swept aside <br />So, I make my fair thee wells’ <br />Maybe one day it’ll be ok <br />But for now it’s not that way <br />Goodbyes are hard <br />Though you’ll hardly notice the pain of moving on<br /><br />Vanessa Kingsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pain-267/
