Pain Poem by Sam Byron

Pain goes away,
Bruises fade,
But
Our wounds
Will never heal
If we keep
Picking at our scabs

I’m sorry

I made you cry
I hate to see the tears
That crowd your vision

I love you
Too much
To walk away

But

I’ve hurt you
Too much
To stay.

No matter
How much
We want
To be
Together

We both
Know
We can’t

Now

I’ve done
The worst thing
Possible

I’ve made you
Fall in love,
And now
I cannot
Catch you.
