Pain

Like the shadow that trails behind you.
Like the screams that follow the night.
Like the song that you can't seem to get out of your head
Or the rap that can't say anything but that one word.
Like the book you just can't seem to put down.
Its like the girl he didn't want to let go
Or the guy she couldn't leave.
Like the peace that just never comes

Its the one thing you can never escape.
Its the one thing that will always haunt you,
Like a ghost in an old, abandoned house.
That is just it.
Its the one thing you hate and love all at once.
Hate it, love it, hold it, throw it away.
Its still there
Because its too hard to live without it.
