Your Pain

written in part for a girl and in part for me


You don't tell everybody what you go thru,
But I can see how much different you are.
You are beautiful when you are... just you.
Is your mind from here off afar?
You try to smile even when it has been a while
Since you've been rested peacefully,
Then you try to ignore the pain and smile
And look so tender and peaceful,
But you don't answer the question of...

How do you do what you do
You do all the things that you do,
With the pain in your eyes and sighs
And the tries at being normal,
Is this formal?
Does your mind ever know peace,
Does it cease? All your pain as you remain
You_ _

Do I understand
Will it just go, and you just stay,
I demand to try and stand
In the shoes that hurt every day.
When I ask you how you are
And I don't know how far
Is your mind from this place where you ache.
Oh God, if from you, this I could take,
I would, but you don't answer the question of...

How do you do...
...You_ _

Can you just close your eyes, feel warmth on your face;
Throw your head back, and let it go?
Feel the sun melt your cares, in its embrace;
Can your mind know peace and let go?
Did I not care for you, pay you enough attention;
How beautiful you look tonight, did I forget to mention?
Take those inconsiderations away I would,
To ease your pain, I wish I could.
Yet you still don't answer the question of...

How do you do...
...You~ ~ ~
