Love Does Not Count The Pain

how painful it is to hear songs
that once became a man’s life

i have once made a choice
choosing someone who is in need of my love was stupid
because i never knew if it is worth the sacrifice

i tried to make her happy hoping for her to love me in return
betrayal is what i get it made me sob in tears
too late for her to realize i already loved her
when my heart cracked open and wouldn’t stop from bleeding

to be with her in the daylight was my greatest and happiest moment
because there were no shadows
to be with her at night was my worst nightmare
tears and endless cries would flood the balcony
lurking shadows of the past whispering
demons cluttering around
and ghostly white silhouettes would past between us

a woman’s painful memories
one man’s torn flesh
living,loving while decaying in pain

to forget the past is to carve it on the rocks with bare hands
and leave it all behind still the pain was there

the boy took the ugly duckling because he knows
someday it will become a beautiful swan

with faint smile the boy watched innocently as a
beautiful moth emerged from the cocoon that
once was the uggliest creeping creature a leech

the first stupid choice i made
so many sacrifices i did
for the sake of love
blood and tears i continue to shed
all these things i didn’t regret
because with her the incomparable sweet love is what i get

this words i wrote
hoping to forget the once painful past
and for my scars to heal.

with you i feel new again
with you i was reborn
with you i am who i am
because you showed me the new you
someone i never knew before
and to leave behind of what was you
somehow have eased the pain
and made me love you even more.
