Pain

---

Pain, tell me where you are
When I need you the most
You disappear when I want to feel you
You stay away from me
When I want to taste your embrace
I reach for you on lonely nights, like a lover
And you're nowhere to be found
Why do you run from me?

Pain, tell me who you are
When I ask for your name
You nudge me awake each morning
Whispering to my ears
Chocking me when I don't need you
But you refuse to answer my call
You hide from me when I'm desperate
Why do you run from me?

Pain, tell me what to say
When I tell people about you
They ask me questions day and night
They want to understand you
What you're made of
Why I love you so
But I have no answer for them
Why do you run from me?

Pain, tell me where to go
When you aren't here
You've become me
And I you
I want to know if I need to learn
To trust another
You have to teach me how
Why do you run from me?

I have no idea what I was on about when I wrote that. Sometimes, we write things we don't even understand. Don't think about it much. LOL.
