Pain

by bobby fernbaugh

Pain is not such

an easy thing to handle.

When it catches you,

all you're left with is holding a dim candle.

At first you're all

happy and bright.

But when the pain eventually hits you,

out goes that light.

The pain that hurts the most

is the one that's buried deep down inside.

The only reason it's there,

'cause it's a safe place to hide.

The hardest part of

dealing with the pain,

is trying to act normal and

believing that everything is still the same.

But you realized that's not going happen,

since you said your last goodbyes.

And now all you can do is sit in the dark,

with tears flowing from your tired brown eyes.

I'm speaking from experience,

'cause I've dealt with similar situations many times before.

You become so sad and depressed,

you just want to pack up your bags and head out the door.

And finally you realize that

when you're around certain people you're just living a lie.

And sometimes it seems better,

if you could just shrivel up and die.

A common saying states,

"There are more fish in the sea."

But I often ask myself,

"Is there anyone out there for me?"

People keep saying,

"Be patient and keep looking around."

But I sadly respond,

"I'm tired of my heart being stomped on the ground."

When will this pain,

finally go away?

Nobody really knows,

so for now it's here to stay.
