A shared pain

Some people spend their whole life in pain
Not a physical pain
But an inner pain
A pain that only they feel
A pain that they will never let out
Because though they fear living with it forever
They fear losing it forever even worse

This is a pain so many feel
A pain so many wish to rid themselves of
It eats them away slowly
Slowly tearing them up from inside
All they can do is sit back
Sit back and let life run its course
For better or for worse

This pain can only be described as complete heartbreak
They've lost all they've ever wanted
When they finally figured out how much...
How much they wanted it
How much they needed it
It was too late
That which they wanted more than anything
Had already been taken
Taken by someone who never deserved it
Someone who would never treat it as well as they would
But they let it go
Fearing that they may lose it forever
If they do anything

So they sit
Sit and wait
Hoping that one day they may get the chance
The chance to get it back
That which they long so dearly for
For if they ever get it back
They will never let it go
They will hold on as tight as possible
Cherishing it every momment
Making up for every second
Every second ever lost...

So I sit here
And I wait
Hoping one day I get the chance to get her back
The one I let go
The one I want more than anything
The one I need
And if I ever get her back
I'm going to hold on tight and never let go
I'll cherish every momment

For this I pray everynight
Hoping one day
My prayer may be not only heard
But answered
And I get to hold her in my arms once again
And I never have to let go...
