Pain

You have to have dreams
You left a stain
Yet I’m stronger than you know
Look at me now
You keep your distance from me
I watch as your life becomes tragic
Longing to step in and help
Yet you won’t let me
Beautiful girl
Bless your heart.

Up and down confusion
Melting the heart of your soul
Standing here all alone
They all said there was magic
Nothing came to ease the pain
At sunset the heart breaks
Memories infest the simple mind
Life seems such a mess
Left to let things burn
Makes life feel uneasy.
