Pain......Pain.......Pain......
Death's Gentle Touch.                

Pain.....Pain.....Pain.....              
A measure of a souls worth.
                                      
Pain....Pain....Pai­n....      
A simple reminder, of what we are.
                    
Pain...Pain...Pain...        
Fragile, weak, selfish.
                  
Pain..Pain..Pain..
We learn from it.

Pain.Pain.Pain.
But what is it we truly gain?

Do you remember?
The time I cried of loneliness.

Do you remember?
The time I wished someone was there.

Do you remember?                                
How I asked, begged, pleaded like a wretched mess.
      
Do you rember?
How I asked for you in those moments of despair.
  
You do remember?
Remember?                              

Yet, I am now just a memory.

Yes, you stand over me. A mound of dirt, and a universe apart.          

But, you do remember?

I saw you smiling.
Like a flash of light.
So bright.
Yet gone in a second
So gorgeous
I reckon,
Why don't you?
You don't smile often
Your lips
They never soften
I reckon,
So dark
Yet, you beckon
So sad
I saw you smiling.....

Then the light. It was gone.
Your eyes they....
darken
forever.

Dark whispering in,
Every sane mind.
A final release,
The tragic finale of misery.
How much do you crave it?

I can feel it.

       Through the blood in my veins.
In the evil pits of my heart.
        Through the smile I shine.
In those dark depths of my mind.
        Through the glimmer of my eyes.
In these hated memories I hold.
        Through the promising future ahead.
In that feeling of pure hatred.
        Through the last bit of hope.
In those moments of despair.
              
                                         ­    I. Am. Alive.
