Where can I go
to get away from
the pain in me?

All I feel is
an empty solace
in the depth of
my empty heart.

Please let me
feel the end of
this despair.

Yet will I find
joy in the happiness
with all things
given and taken?

Why are my mind
so conflicted by you?
I hate you the fact
that you will never
stop the pain.

A fallen tree digs
holes into my chest,
and roots never purchasing
the vivid colors of life.

So let me tell you,
that a minute isn't
enough for me.
So let the sadness
bleed away.

Hear me once and
let me feel something.
Something more then
pain then the words
you said to me.

Let me rest for
once instead of
trying to die
in my own control.
