My Heart leads me to pain
O' Pain I know thee so well
I feel thee each and everyday of my life
only to take it away and leave me
Beholden to nothing or anyone
why must i love on knowing
that thee rules my fate
Why must I know thee so well
ain you are my downfall
Yet in you I reside
Pain you are my most hated Enemy
Yet I Embrace thee like a Lover
As I sit here and pen this
I feel your tender arms holding me close like a newborn babe
I hate it yet I am comforted
why must I Live in you
I hate what you do to me and my life
I despise how I feel when I am embraced by Thee
Pain, You are my Lover and my Enemy
