pain

i sit in one corner
darkness fills the air
i feel pain
and i don't know
where it's coming from.

is it coming from an old wound
something which i thought
has been healed by time
has it been healed
how come it still hurts?

i close my eyes
and try to forget the pain
but as i close my eyes
the pain remains
and i see you face.

i held my breath
as the things that we said
and the love that we shared
came rushing through my mind
then i cry.

bitter sweet memories
of our not so distant past
must i forget? let go?
it might take the pain away
it just might.

i feel pain
and i know
where it's coming from
i know how to stop it
but i won't.

pain is all that's left of you
i must embrace it
i must not let it go
for this is the only way
that you can still be a part of me.
