I'm hidden' in the scream
When the virgin dies
I'm the ache in the belly
When your baby cries
And i'm the burning sensation
When the convict fries
And i'm the compound fracture
In the twisted car
And i'm the lines on the face
Of the tramp at the bar
And i'm the reds by the bed
Of the suicide star
I'm the holes in your arm
When you're feelin' the shakes
I'm the lump on your head
When you step on the rake
I'm the salt in the sweat
On the cuts of slaves
I was the wound in the side
While Jesus prayed
I was the filthiest word
At the vandalized grave
Yes, I'm Pain
I'm just Pain
Dear old Pain
I'm your Pain
It's a compliment to me
To hear you screamin' through out the night
All night
What was before. No longer the same.
Feelings that grew. Now tattered and torn.
Try to hold on. Though it may be in vain.
Is all that is left? The two that were born.
Over a decade lying on the brink.
Up and down, good and bad, nothing need be changed.
Promises kept, yet lost in a blink.
No apologies, it has all been arranged.
Things they wither and things they die.
From out of the rubble new things rise.
To many tears have been shed, no more to cry.
Wipe away the pain. Dry your eyes.
Out of the ashes breathes new life.
A will to go on is all you need.
Wounds will heal. From the proverbial knife.
Close the door; turn out the light, together we bleed.
One by one
These bloody tears
Fall from eyes
That used to be so wise
But now I know
That I could never know
If I had the prize
Of the love shown in your eyes
One by one
The silver strands
That keep me together
Are coming apart
And now I see
I can never be
Where I used to be
Safe in your heart
One by one
All the lies I told
Myself to keep me here
Are falling away
Now only the painful
Memories of what I did
Push me away
At the end of the day
One by one
All of the flowers
That I gave to you
To show you I care
Now have lost
All of the petals
Wilted and faded
Leaving them bare
One by one
All the years that we've travelled
Side by side
Are coming unravelled
Ashes to ashes
I'll never forget you
Dust to Dust
I still love you
CHILD ABUSE
My name is Sarah
I am but three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see.
I must be stupid
I must be bad,
What else could have made
My daddy so mad?
I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me.
I can't speak at all
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long.
When I awake
I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home.
When my mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight.
Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car.
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.
I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall.
I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.
He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault.
That he suffers at work.
He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.
He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.
"I'm sorry!", I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.
The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!
And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.
My name is Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.
