A Harsh Life

See my Pain

You see me here lying

Hear me badly crying

Know I’m slowly dying

You see the scars

You see the tears

You want to be here

You want to be so close that you can see the stars

The star that you say twinkle in my eyes

You know that I’m done

You know I want to be gone

I want to be free

Free from the pain

I know you want to save me

I know where you want me to be

You want me to be in your arms

You want to feel the tears soaking through your shirt

You want the pain to no longer harm

I wanted to fade away

But you wanted me to stay

Stay here in your arms

I wanted to be

But you wanted me

You run to me

You wrap your arms around me

Now my star like eye is what you see

And what do you do

You say ‘I Love You’
