Only Reminds Me Of The Pain Poem by Shilesha Johnson

The more we speak
The more I am reminded
I try so hard not to think
I try so hard to hide it
All I want is to no longer feel the pain
And every time we talk I know things will never be the same
The more you are brought up
The harder I try to resist
The harder I try to forget
About your hugs
About your lips
The more I see your face
The more I feel the pain
The more I am hurt
The more I cry
The worse I feel inside
So I try hard to avoid
Even though all that leaves me feeling is void
I try not to mind
Cause if I stay
The pain will continue to find
A way to my heart
The pain will continue
To tear me apart
So you see I have to go
I can’t come back
I have to stay away
Cause talking to you only reminds me of the pain
