Pain

Written by: Mysterious Enchantress, Elvira Saer'rac, The Shadow
Date: Friday, December 21st, 2001
Addressed to: Everyone


And now again I walk the path
Roads of eternal sorrow
The happiness I held so close
My heart again is hollow

I told myself I'd never love
My heart I'd never open
Too many problems dealt by life
Too often left heart-broken

You came into my life again
I thought you'd be the keeper
You left me soon, and yet the pain
Of our encounter hurts still deeper

I gave you all I had in life
My heart, my soul, my being
And you, you whispered words of love
My innocence corrupting

Those days my life was filled with bliss
I thought I lived in heaven
But then she stole your gentle kiss
Your heart was soon to follow

Or maybe I was just a fool
A prey for your seduction
My innocence is what you stole
Of my heart is left but a fraction

You chose her over me
And I knew that you would
It is how it was meant to be
All that happens turns out for good

I stand alone, look at the world
The happiness around me
And yet to me it seems so cold
A wretched place to be

Those who I trusted most of all
Betrayed me one by one
They weren't there, they let me fall
Laughed at my broken mind

I never win, I always lose
The game of love is finished
It's not the path I wish to choose
Where happiness is banished

By life I was dealt a harsh hand
I keep my head up high
I know my pain will never end
But I still have to try

And now again I walk the path
Roads of eternal sorrow
The happiness I held so close
My heart again is hollow

Penned by my hand on the 16th of Valnuary, in the year 294 AF.
