Pain

The pain is penetrating
Crawling under my skin
Fear is what I live on
My hope is wearing thin

Faith is walking away from me
Fear is all I have
The words of love and kindness
No longer form a path

All the good inside me
Is hiding in the dark
I try to let in the sun
And hear the calling lark

The wind is whistling
The rain is pouring down
The darkness and the pain
Turn my fading smile into a cold frown

My love for you is wilting
Like a week old rose
Love is slowly leaving
As hate quickly grows

I wander through the night
My memories are fading
Happiness now leaves
Love is turned to hating
But all I wish for is peace

I want to keep on loving
Just like I once did
But hate just keeps on shoving
Pushing its way in

I know that someday I will save myself
And all the hate will go away
I will love you once again
But for now you just can’t stay
