PAIN

By

John Bird

What to do

How to make it stop

Should we talk

Should we leave it unsaid

What to do

The hurt takes hold

Fears realized

I stand here looking stupid

What to do

Sleep eludes me

Life in shambles

Twenty years down the toilet

What to do

Need to hold on

Need to get through this

The more I think about it the worse it gets

What to do

Mistakes revisited

Worst day of my life

Pain and loneliness cloud the future

What to do

She leaves me

She takes the cat

Good riddance to the cat
