My Pain Should be Yours

I bleed from the sea of pain I slowly drown in,
Pain you have given me;
If only you could see
The things I write because of you.
Maybe then you would understand that
My heartstrings' whispers are not just a joke.
You tell me you are so happy with your life,
That you feel fulfilled.
How can that possibly be fair when I am suffocating from you,
From the wounds you inflicted in my heart?
The wounds are causing my heart to drown in its own blood.
Why should you, the one responsible for my never-ending pain,
Be allowed to smile and laugh, and be happy,
When I am swamped in this endless darkness,
The darkness of your fathomless shadow?
The morning seems that it will never come for me;
This is your fault, and you should pay the price,
But of course, I do instead, because I'm the one you broke.

  1. diversify. perhaps, you should channelise the pain and hurt. even if you write about pain, grief, melancholy there still is lots to write about. i wish you the best....but this is a beautiful piece nevertheless...a strong ending line
