The Pain of You

by Robert T Welsh Jr,
(Des Moines, Ia)

I hurt inside
It tears me up
You know why
I choose to cut
The pain isn't there
I can't feel anymore
It's never here
My heart aches for more
I've lost you now
It's been so long
I don't know how
What went wrong
I'll leave you alone
I'm not scared
It's time to be gone
My heart is impaired.
