This Pain
Brandi Johnson 1974
This pain is deep
It's raw, it's real
I'm incomplete.
My heart aches
With each beat
The pain is unbearable
Not sure how much more I can take.
I try to cry
But there is nothing there
An empty void
With room to spare.
I pray and pray
For this pain to end
I can't live this way
I need my heart to mend.
It's bruised, it's broken
Time and time again
This life, I have not chosen
I just want this pain to end.
Old wounds reopened
And nowhere to hide
Through misery I'm hoping
This pain will go when I die.
