Pain's Embrace

~By Matt Russell

Woe to those
That have met this fate,
And been forced to live
In such a sorry state.
Pain is present
In each act we have taken,
And yet only one wonder is present
Why our love you have forsaken.
The wound of my heart
Does nothing but sit and bleed,
Yet even with this
No one will pay me heed.
I thought everything was fine
I thought it was alright,
And now it has become all over
Without so much as a fight.
With a tear in my eye
And a knife in my grip,
I just lay back
While darkness into I slip.
That was my life
And this has become my goodbye,
Now please don’t cry for me
Just let me fade away and die.
