Pain

[Jenny Robinson]

The air I breathe is now to stale and has no life,

the Sun holds no warmth for me as it once did so long ago.

These beautiful days that we once shared only bring pain and tears.

All because what once brought it life, is gone beyond my reach.

The smile that plays upon my lips is fake, 

but it's to hide the tears I wish to cry.

The laughter that I force,

is to hide the screams within my mind.

My throat tightens as I fight back the tears,

for the day is fast approaching.

The day when the never ending pain started.

This day caused all the pain, though I know.

I know better than to hate this day,

for on this day you left for a better place.

I'll cry for joy on you being free from pain,

but I'll also cry for the pain it has caused me,

I'll take this pain and keep it because this pain 

meant that you became free.
