Waves of Pain

Kind of similar to my Long-Forgotten Days but kind of different as well so I decided to post it.

Waves of Pain

Tonight as I look up

Into the star-light sky

And my mind starts to wander

And brings up things best left hidden

Old-Forgotten memories

Of all the pain I’ve caused

Of all the suffering and stress I’ve caused

And they bring it all back to me

As the emotions overload my defences

And the flood begins

The Waves of Pain

Engulfing me

You say it’s okay

That I haven’t hurt you

And I want to listen to you

But my heart is still not convinced

When I look into your eyes 

When I read your letters

I feel happy but…. All of those old memories

Come flooding back to me

As the Waves of Pain

Begin to engulf me

As I slowly collapse in front of you

But this should not be happening

I’m acting like a child

Overreacting to all of this

And yet I cannot help it

Oh why must this happen to me?

Why must my mind do this to me? To You?

Why must I bring up these emotions?

And begin to collapse in front of you

Why must I hurt you and give cause for more pain?

You say it’s ok

That I haven’t done anything

But I guess, in my heart

I am still not convinced

As the emotions overload my defences

And the flood begins

The Waves of Pain

Engulfing me
