Your pain is real

You smile but you lie

I want to understand

My hands bleed from your barbed words

Your pain is real

You say you want to die

I am terrified by what I see

My heart longs to walk in your darkness

Your pain is real

You push away but you need

I stand in the rain waiting to dry your tears

My love is lonely waiting to be taken

Your pain is real

You hold a candle and fresh wick

I have an eternal flame

My outstretched arms will never tire

Your pain is real

You say you can’t feel

I want to share your pain

My pain is real
