My Pain is Not Yours

It's my pain,

not yours.

My heart aches,

and it doesn' want to forget.



I lie in my bed,

staring at the cealing.

Tell me,

what will it take to get this heart of mine healing?



No one asked the man on the moon,

to come down tonight,

and no one asked you,

to come and make this alright.



I never asked,

but I was given.

I neve seeked,

but I found.

Now all I wish,

is to take back that kiss.

Just to erase,

these moments with you, that I miss.



God doesn't live here anymore,

and he's made sure to lock the door.

My pain,

is not yours.



I look at the lines of wisdom carved into my heart.

They mean nothing now, that it's broken apart.

I thought I was wise,

but isn't it that, only fools get their heart broken twice?



So now I'm only a fool,

but my hearts broken.

It doesn't heal.

It doesn't forget,

and unfortunatly...



MY PAIN IS NOT YOURS.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I guess this poem tries to explain what it must feel like breaking up and still feeling something for that person, long after they've moved on...
