Hurt

Pain drips from every pore
You hurt, hurt, ‘til you can hurt no more
If this was a movie you’d be covered in rain
Not even a monsoon could douse this pain

A heart torn into a million pieces
No warmth left, temperature decreases
You cry ‘til you're dry and can cry no more
You cry ‘til your eyeballs are bloody and sore

Surely it’s just fresh and raw
Surely this pain can last no more
But the pain lingers in every way
It fails to cease, every day

The more you try to suppress, the darker it gets
The more you try to ignore, the harder you sweat
A million knives that stab your soul
A rip in your universe that leaves a hole

It’s the end of your world and the darkness consumes
You’re standing still whilst others resume
You try to move but your feet won’t go
You try to run but you’re far too slow

And there she stands in front of your door
Not an illusion, for once you’re sure
But the pain has drained from every pore
Until in the end you can say no more

And after all this time you turn away
After all the rehearsals you’ve nothing to say
So the curtains draw and the lights abstain
You’re cold and alone, alone with your pain
