Remembering Pain

It seems I’ve lost the will to say
That the pain will eventually go away.
That each innocent smile given
Will start to regret ever living.
That every laugh that’s shared this day
Will walk home alone and say
That they can’t keep their falling tears at bay.
And when the demons stare at me
And tell me who I ought to be
My glazed over eyes blink fast
Remembering my hazy past.
And then the bile starts to rise
As I think of all the lies
And how you dotted every “I”
And then laughed after you said goodbye.
