Pain’s Desire

Pain desires company

Not so others feel the same agony

But so its cries are heard,

Its wounds felt,

And its path seen

 

A hope rests in this comfort,

Hope of shattered glass being made whole again

Yet we abandon those who hurt the most,

Those who “look” just fine,

Yet are bleeding to their death

 

We fail to inquire how a soul may be doing

In order to hide from the stain of their bleeding heart

And the gunk we may find there

 

We remain comfortable

Looking right past a hurting world

And in doing so we lock up Hope in a box,

The only Hope that matters,

The only Hope that can turn those shatters into a whole,

The only Hope which can drag one out

From the darkness he’s in.
