A special kind of pain

It’s a special kind of pain
The pain from which there is no escape
The pain in which it leaves you blind and your heart agape
It leads to a path of anger
And turns you into a warmonger
A place where violence is the answer
It begins to take shape, growing as a cancer
Taking over your every bone and your every action

It’s a special kind of pain
When the world becomes cold
And leaves you all alone
Left to wander and roam
Feeling like you have no home

It’s a special kind of pain
When those close to you leave
Leaving you alone to grieve
Your chest heaving as you cry
Only wondering why

It’s a special kind of pain
