Hurting Song Poem by Tor Magnor Solvang

That song only hurts when
The silence feels too deep.
When a memory you can't mend
Is the promise I must keep.

That song only hurts when
The laughter starts to fade.
When all the words you didn't send
Are the price that must be paid.

That song only hurts when
Your hand is not in mine.
When shadows start to descend,
And I can't find a sign.

That song only hurts when
The sun forgets to rise.
When a forgotten 'when'
Reflects within your eyes.
