“PAINS THAT I KNOW”

I asked for your caring, all I received was grief,
and I wondered why,
my heart is not a thief…
It’s gentle and kind, but was presented with all this sorrow,
broke in half it did,
not knowing if there was a tomorrow…

The emotions that we once shared, were kind and of grace,
a touch was one, very tender,
gentle embrace…
Your sweetness like heaven, I remember it very well,
but both changed for some reason,
and off a cliff they fell…

Now I’m torn deep inside, and I know that you are too,
neither knows what happened,
we just can’t seem to continue…
Perhaps it was a sharp tongue, where words were once aglow,
all I know is, I’m torn apart by many, of the
“Pains That I Know”

It is sad when sweet turns bitter, Bill. Nicely expressed, these words of yours.
