The Pain:

You don't know what it is like
To lose the one you held so dearly
To lose the one you loved with all your heart
You cannot fathom the pain.

The pain that cuts into you
It starts on the surface
A tiny *****
One you barely notice.

It gets deeper
Cutting deeper and deeper into you
You can feel it now
It is more than just a *****.

It is an excruciating pain
A pain you feel deep in your bones
A pain you feel deep in your soul
A pain you can do nothing about.

The pain becomes part of you
It lives within you like a beast that will not flee
It takes hold of you and controls you
It destroys you.

Yet you bear it every day
You bear it with a fake smile
And the world believes you
They know nothing of your pain.

They believe your lies
The smiles you're faking
But they will never know your pain
They will never be able to fathom it.
