Bitter Pain

Pain felt deeply
though to the core
eating away at me
sharp and sore

just want to hide
never to show my face
this world`s so cruel
don`t want to leave this place

for this is my life
what did I do wrong?
that you had to hurt me
I'm no longer strong

seeing what`s under the mask
an ugly, vile person
all bitter from the past
trapped in my own prison

never to be free
or to know love again
but to be burdened,
locked in this heavy chain


Love has its tortured side, not always visible to everyone,
so never just people by their covers.
