A Pain That Will Not Go Away

A pain that will not go away


They say that pain will heal with time.
I wonder if they were referring to mine.
Time has not yet healed my pain
And it certainly did not go away.
It resides in my thoughts day after day.
I am constantly watching him take what was not his.
I am forever looking at his hateful grin.
He is always treating me like a rag doll.
No one can hear me crying, no one at all.
He is always telling me to be quiet.
Someone will hear you and I wish you would not fight it.
My mind says to listen. My heart says to scream.
I wish I could stop having this horrible dream.
It haunts me in my sleep and when I am awake.
My soul is breaking with all it can take.
I have given and given to men with no hearts.
I woke up and said you are falling apart.
It did not mater if I gave freely or danced for a fee.
I finally wanted men to stop taking from me.
I quit being promiscuous and stopped dancing for cash.
I knew I had something more than just a hot ass.
I am not over that fateful night.
But I finally know what he did was not right.
If time heals all wounds and mends all hearts.
I hope time has the patience to wait for a girl,
Who wants a brand new start.
