Analysis of Your Hurt Is Mine

Charles Edward York 1966 (Saigon, Vietnam)



Your Hurt Is Mine

Your hurt is mine more than I know
Beyond the field of dreams
I made a burning hell
Words, actions and feelings
Made a total stranger of you
So thoughtless I roared
On you relentlessly
My heart turned
Mercilessly dark
And rightfully I am alone.

Your hurt is heavy on all of me
Raining on my conscience
How I wish I never hurt
You and your softness
Your love made real is
All I ever wanted
Now I sleep in the cold
The showers pour
My eyes know no relief
Until I heal you completely.
