It's been bad before...
Like a long lost friend
the pain has returned;
the loneliness
that encloaks me,
and draws me to it's bosom,
caressing my soul,
making my heart rend;
pounding with the rhythm
of my sadness.

Its been bad before...
I sit here in sorrow,
wishing that my tears
would fall,
and wash away the despair
that has encrusted
my sanity;
stripping away my defenses,
baring the last remnants
of my battered pride;

Years of bitterness
seeping through the cracks
of my consciousness;
drowning me in silent agony;
Drawing away my happiness,
leaving nought but
an empty space where
once my heart was.

It's been bad before...
and before...
and before...
There was laughter
and then tears
that soaked my sleepless nights,
and dampened even
the brightest days,
eclipsing the joy
in my heart with
the blackness of my pain.
A pain that is so familiar;
that I no longer fear.
And why should I?
Hasn't it been bad before?
