Pain is the only friend
That has walked with me till the end
Even when I lose my way,
Pain finds where I lay
They say pain isn't real
'tis only in the head
Then why do I feel it
Crawling in my chest,
Invading my heart,
Throwing out tears,
Corrupting my thoughts,
And driving me nuts.
But I love my friend dearly.
It stayed by my side, when I was alone
It stayed deep within, hidden,
When I had my mask on
One by one, as my 'friends' trickled away,
Pain held on harder without giving away
It has been the only constant, in my dark turbulent life
It's absence scares me most,
For its the foreboding of hell's imminent arrival
