Pain

When I look into her eyes

And they lack the light they once held

Laughter now replaced with sighs

I know her love is felled

Yet I know I feel the same

As I did when we first met

I don't know who's to blame

All I feel is regret

That summer's love has died in winter

And her loves last embers now burn out

While my heart's fire rages ever more

My love is still devout

Knowing that the one you love

Will soon choose to leave your life

No greater pain can sting above

No greater burning emotional strife

Yet in pain I feel alive

As I do in love

I take them both and I survive

Feelings are what life is made of

And to experience them is to thrive

It's better to feel even sorrow

Than to live each day devoid of feeling

Each day just the last's tomorrow

And even though it leaves me reeling

The bitterness of pain

Makes new happiness even sweeter

Though it may sound insane

It's better to feel pain than nothing
