This Pain Should Be Yours

Poem
By Kelie Myers

Lost inside my thoughts

My endless spinning consciousness

Liability of my own devotion

The truth of my heart is forgotten by you

You travel a dangerous road

Armed with no fear of what is to come

Look at me

Naïve, I have a map of logic and sensibility

You avoid the perils of frightful clawing evils

While I am hit by every bullet you've dodged

The life that should be yours is left in your dust

Everyone who's loved you is paying the your debt

Pain, such agonizing pain should be yours

This pain should be yours

The lies you told should find you and lock you away

The pain inflicted (by you) without remorse should be claiming you!

I hurt myself the day I loved you

Unable to see your candor absence of soul

For you began digging my grave

The first day you looked into my eyes with adoration

Pain, such agonizing pain should be yours
