Pain

I set myself a task today, To write of pain in rhyme. Of the love I lost so long ago, Remembered for all time. The pain is not forgotten Around my broken heart. For even if I love again, It's chained around each part. The pain that had been pleasure Before she ran away, Was changed in just an instant, Like sand to solid clay. I shivered and I cringed in pain, My heart to cold hard clay. To change me from the boy I was And the man I'm not today. The pain had soon consumed my life, My dreams in darkness too. My anger and my sorrow, My hate for the world I knew. It's only bitter that I taste And only grey I see. And when lovers warm each other still It brings a chill to me. Once I tried to release my chains That held my love so true. I actually found someone to give A cold-chained loving to. But alas! It ended as before With a chain around each part. And now my love lies chilled forever At the bottom of a broken heart.
