Can't Erase The Pain


I wish I could erase
the pain and hurt inside
for it has changed me
and this I can never denie

Each experiance in life
has its place for us
our journey to God
growth and such

But there are some lessons
I would rather have not had
And wonder If they were even mine
If not why I'm left so sad

I'm tired of everyone
Thinking me so strong
Or placing things on me
That are just flatt wrong

When young I would wonder
Why women who's age now be mine
Seemed to be bitter right under the surface
An afliction of life given enough time

Everything is on us
The state of our family
The state of our marriage
Wondering what we did wrong continually

Well I tell you this
I did my best, every second
with out rest, All for you
My whole youth, at your very beckon

If something was lacking
its simply on you, from you not comunicating
Or your accusations and scorn
With time the effect is accumulating

I tried so hard, gave so much
Some where I lost the real me
The very things that attracted you
Surpressed, I know you can see

Tusting, loving, kind
Happy, opionated, confident
Cup half full all the time
Full of life, a special spark

Search is on in me for thease
Adult version with knowledge
Wisdom to hold them dear
Not be beat by lifes college

Actually,
I see this as a strong argument as to why you
Wouldn’t want to erase the pain.

The memory of the pain is what binds the lesson,
Harsh as it seems,
It’s the most effective method of learning.
Why else would pain be so easy
And happiness so hard to achieve?
