Freeing pain

I look into the stars and i see a void, filled with stars

in them I see the ones that I have lost

and with them, the ones I have gained

but mostly, I see all of the pain

I lost the one that I loved the most

the one I started to shape a life around

the one that I wanted to care for my whole life

She left me, while leaving in my soul a bloody knife

I lost the one that helped me out of a rut

helped me to gain back my feet

the one to help me in the dark

but now she is just another mark

I lost the one that saved my life that day

with simple words upon a page

saying how she'd cry and hurt to loose a friend

yet now all that is at an end

Only one friend that knew the truth

stayed with me through and through

one that I had never told

and now my only friend of old

I have only one more that knows

a new friend that I met elsewhere

and told expecting him to run away

but instead he didn't even sway

I see all the pain from them leaving me

all of them ignoring me to rot in the dust

but then the two I trust come to me

and from my pain, they help set me free
