pain relief

pain relief

                          
When it feels as though the world is breaking
All I want is you
But when it’s your pain and it’s your aching
I have no clue what to do

My pain feels indulgent how can I compare
You’ve not had a chance to retreat
I’m all in your face finding something to fix
But there’s nothing I can do, I’m beat

You tell me you love me and you’ll be okay
I feel that it’s true from inside
But you’re closed and feel like you’ve gone so far away
And all I can do is to hide

You’re all I will need in this world to get by
You’re all of the love that there is
There’s nothing more for me than you in this world
I can't bear to see you like this

When you hurt and look lost and alone in the dark
There’s nothing I can’t even think
I’m swallowed, engulfed and there’s pain but no mark
I can’t even cry whilst we sink

But you won’t let me help you or love you or touch you
You fix all your shit on your own
I’ll just wait here and love you and think only of you
Until all the pain is all gone

It's honestly like my wife wrote this about me, she often tells me I'm gone away, I'm lost, and most of the time I am, I suffer from a disassociative disorder related to certain things from my past and my lack of faith in humanity.

Excellent poetry Treacle.

Thanks Gerard. We all do it and it can be so hard for those who feel our pain but can't help. 

Thank you so much for relating :)

Looking at the entry hall, another place to stay,
I hope they’ve got a bathroom I can use.
