Pain Poem by Jessica Bouck

I guess the pain I feel is reality
Every tear sent beneath my chin
Shows someone somewhere I love them
Trying to find some sort of warmth
That one thing that makes life worthy
Time's quickly fleeting before us
And we're still trying to discover ourself
Seeing who we are inside almost
A mirror shows but nothing joyful
An exciting mix of pain and pleasure
Leading toward my realm of disblelief
Reflections dont show which is true
A mask beside the irreplaceable ties
It brings little more than tears
Inseperatable I cant decide to live or die
As I lay here inside watching
Watching what you've done to her
And I cant stop it, not even if I tried
She just lets you control her
I guess if you wanted to, she'd leave you
If her intellegence moved her
Instead she's submissive, to her emotions
Afraid of success, afraid of herself
She's trapped here waiting always, forever
Waiting for someone to free her from this curse
Incurable, it's impossible but you know this
So keep her here, in chains and cuffs
While she mentally escapes this world tonight
Beat her, and whip her til she bleeds
Forever your slave, if only you felt it
Be beside her, relieve her pain for once
I guess this pain I feel is just reality
No matter how bad it hurts everyday
She cries at night, though you wouldnt realize it
All she needs is a hand to hold
Someone to kiss her tenderly on the lips
A love to call her own, something true
