I'll never understand life's mysteries
like that show, some are unsolved
never to have an answer

pain is one of life's mysteries
some say it makes life sweeter...
but not for all

some of us get stuck in the hurt
sucked into the abyss of black, bleeding, screaming, tortured darkness
I can't make it go away
I can't take my innocense back
I can't rescue anyone
and I can barely save myself

I am tired of hurting
I don't even want to know why anymore
I just want it to stop

pain is like a cancer that cannot be cured
maybe it can be halted momemtarily
but we never know when it will strike again

old hurts come back in vague memories, songs, forgotten kisses
they slip in when you see the pain mirrored in someone else
it rises to the surface to try and breathe
and we hold it down to suffocate it
again and again
and
again
