Pain Like Fire


Pain like Fire

 

This pain I’m feeling,

is unlike anything I’ve ever felt,

Lost,

Confused,

Heart broken,

it’s an everlasting nightmare.

 

This pain I’m feeling,

is like someone repeatedly punching my chest,

over and over again,

reminding me how I feel.

 

This pain I’m feeling

is like a stain that cannot be removed,

that I cannot escape from,

no matter how hard I try,

to get away,

from this pain.

 

This pain I’m feeling,

is like a house on fire,

that you cannot stop from burning,

deliriously trying to find a way out,

avoiding embers,

but successfully failing,

what a pain like fire.
