Pain Pill

I speak out of anger, but she tore me apart. Part of me is done, but strangely part of me still loves her...

It is a painful loss

When love withers and dies

But this won’t be sadness

These aren’t tears in my eyes

 

There is no point in trying

But I won’t be deceived

I did trust her back then

But now there’s nothing to be believed

 

I thought it was going well

I thought we could make it

But she wanted everything

And was determined to take it

 

I sit here alone in the dark

There’s nothing of comfort here

Her belongings are on my floor

But she won’t come back out of fear

 

I shouted and I yelled

Not because I was mad

But I had little left to give

So I gave her what I had

 

I drown in self pity

I long for her touch

But after what I did

It’s asking too much

 

Call it sad

But she wasn’t

Call it just caring

But she doesn’t

 

So here I sit

Here I wallow

Although this pain turns out to be

A very tough pill to swallow

Wow, there is so much raw emotion here and your put it into words so well. I can see your love for her still shining through. I can see the mistakes you made with the words you said. I can see the regret of the loss itself and your actions. I can see that you still love her. Very great write. Thanks for sharing something so personal.
