Emotions in Rhyme

Pain

I can't stop remembering everything you said to me

Holding back the tears I begin to bleed, metaphorically

In my dreams I hear your words again

Telling me that we could never be friends

Ouch. I hold my tongue.

Holding back the remarks that could have equally stung

I'm trying to be the better person

But one can only take so much prosecution

The way you make me feel

It's exhausting, like walking straight up hill

The tears I wake up to running down my cheeks

The pain in my chest I've been feeling for weeks

I should probably see a doctor, but I know what he'll say

"Hun, this pain I can't make go away."

Because it's a mental pain

Sorta like a dear John...or Jane

As I lay quietly in the dark

On myself I create another mark

A forever memory of you

Permanently in my tissue
