The Pain.

Pain doesn't hurt

When it's all you've ever felt.

So drench yourself

In the music just so you don't melt.

Let the music

Take you in.

Until every inch

Of flesh has thinned.

And only then

Can you wash away,

All the memories

Of that day.

The dirty looks

you got from 'friends'.

The lonely sighs

That would never end.

They wash away

Like acid rain.

Or like the acid tears

That took the pain.
