pain does it best

even while sleeping,

our worlds think they forgot their meaning.

all the weight bears the same pain.

all that clumsy footing stands in vain.

even while sleeping,

our lives think they forgot they’re bleeding.

all the hate shares the same pain.

all the concrete footing stands in shame.

even while sleeping,

our lives reveal the secrets we’re keeping.

all the memories sharpen their blades

all the sadness darken their shades.

even while sleeping, we never truly rest.

love tries hard but pain does it best.
