Her Pain

Her Pain

When she closes her eyes the hurt will fade

It will drift away as the night goes by
and the seas will calm her cries

She will be forever wrapped in a mystery of thorns
Entangling her, she suffers more

She hears the secrets the wind tells
The insufferable lies all about

She feels every quake of the earth
Every lightning strike of the storm

She can’t help but feel the burn of the sun
coming through the door

She knows the feeling of dark wining
and morning being conquered by the night

All is cold and all is dead
There’s nothing in her life but dread

Her thoughts are drained from the power that
caged her mind in a small bottle of pain

Un-triumphantly Winning over the insanity
of framed pictures of perfection

Rotting so fondly in a grave of mistakes and heartache
She slowly becomes nothing

This is a poem I found saved on my computer that I wrote on October 11, of 2004 so I would have been 17 years old at the time. Let me know what you think please. Thanks!

    Ah, the pit of teenage angst – so black “There’s nothing in her life but dread” – and the ‘this is the end nothing will ever be OK again’ tone reminds me of my own teen years……
