Wash Away The Pain

Contributed by MoonlitAngel on Friday, 5th September 2003 @ 06:35:00 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

I'm scared
Because you don't feel the way I do
And I don't understand
Why I'm so defensive with you
I wish I knew
And I wish I didn't hurt the way I do
But even when you get under my skin
I know I'll never be fulfilled without you
Because you shake the ground under my feet
And one of these days I'll swallow my pride
Admit I was wrong
Break down the wall
Let my light shine
And have faith in you to break my fall

I'm scared
Because you don't love the way I do
I don't understand
How you can keep saying you're through
I wish I knew
Why you would do this one thing you don't want to
Sometimes I wish for just a second you could be me
And feel everything I feel so you'd understand
That for me it's so much more complicated
I can't go to sleep and wake up more like you
This is me and
All I can do
Is try harder
So I will but I'll stand my ground too

For now I'll go stand in the rain
Let it wash away all the pain
Cleanse my soul and give me a breath
Ease my fears and chase away death
Fall asleep with tears on my pillow
Dream of you and let my mind go
Wake up and steel my heart once again
Let my guard down every now and then
Say hello with a smile on my face
No longer feeling out of place
Suddenly everything makes sense
At the sound of your voice, peace can commence
Now it's time for me to be strong
Just so we can get along
And if we don't, life crashes down
But god forbid if it gets me down
We say goodnight and I'm so tired
But I can't sleep 'cause I'm too wired
You've twisted me all up in knots
And I can't deal with all these thoughts
So I cry like I always do
That's how I deal with me and you
I write it out to calm my hand
At least that much you understand
There are some things you'll never know
The times the hurt just overflows
And a deeper cut clears my head
It's easier to deal with bloodshed
That's when I go stand in the rain
Let it wash away all the pain
