There was only one thought
In his head as he flashed
A determined smile
A lifetime of hurt
He would make it all
Go away

When he grew old and
Had to give up
The things that made him
Feel alive
He was already dead
But the ringing in his ears
And the pain in his soul
Would never, ever
Go away

He couldn’t find a reason
For continuing on
Like this or
Living to die one day
Doesn’t make a difference
Doesn’t make any sense at all
Maybe he’ll find something
To believe in
That will make this
All worthwhile, somehow
And make it all,
Go away

Memories can be good and bad, I know how this person feels.

Perhaps...it is the mother instinct in me, that makes me want to make all of this hurt go away...

or perhaps it is because I have what is referred to as tinnitus, and know what pain the ringing in one's ear causes....

but how you make me feel this....

extraordinary....
