Pain

Pain of the past haunts me

Comes back like a tortured soul

Reminding me of what I lack 

And knowing I'll never be whole

Painful memories of betrayal

The trust I have is now gone

And is replaced by anguish 

Wondering if this will last long

Pain of a memory that burns

Knowing the betrayal was there

Wondering if this pain will leave

Will he show me that he does care?

It would be so easy to give up

To take a knife and remove this pain

But if I did I would lose everything 

Including that love I finally did gain!
