I know what pain is
It’s broken mirrors
And bloody knuckles

I know what pain is
It’s scattered dreams
And twisted nightmares

I know what pain is
It’s dark and dusty rooms
And innocence lost

I know what pain is
It’s a broken family
And terrible secrets

I know what pain is
It’s loving someone
And not being loved back

I know what pain is
It’s uneven graves
And tarnished headstones

I know what pain is
It’s masks with fake smiles
And the ugly truth beneath

I know what pain is
It’s who I am
And everything I’m not

I know what pain is
It’s that day you died
And I did not

Her Eyes Are Closed

She closes her eyes
Waiting
For the pain
To go away

But it never does
And so
She just keeps
Absorbing

Filling her up
Until pain
Is all she
Remembers having

She feels
So alone
Living in a world
Just her and her pain

But I take her hand
Gently in mine
And whisper
Into her ear

You’re not alone
Open your eyes
And let me share
Your ache

My shoulders
Are strong
Let’s walk
Through this dark
Until it’s passed
