Poetry
The Truth is in Your Pain
By TurboWolffe
22 August 2007
I'm feeling DARK lately.  I happened to write DARK SOUL on my knuckles lately.  Been wanting to be a rockstar lately, and I've been wanting that electric guitar more than ever lately.  Beware the things you take interest in, because to take an interest in me would mean you're unusual and unique.  Time to see my other side.
"Holy crap, I can't see a frickin' thing!"

And there you are so far away
Looking at me through your pain.
You try to hide
What's in buried inside,
But you're not doing very well.
You won't look at me straight,
Because you're trying to create
A hard wall of bloody stone.
You're heavily scarred by what they've done.
Why don't you just stand up and fight?
I just can't bear the sight
of all the truth that's in your pain.

You're bleeding inside.
You're buried in your mind,
And I'm too scared to see what I can find.
I'm too scared to dig you out,
But I'm also scared to be without...
you.

There you lay.
There's nothing you will say.
Everything becomes red
While you lay, white, in bed.
Don't let them take your soul.
Don't let yourself go cold.
Don't fall from the light.
Just keep on and fight.
You can't let yourself waste away.
You can't let yourself decay.
Don't do this to me,
Because I can't bear to see
All the truth that's in your pain.

Just take my hand
And leave this place.
I don't want you to face
All the things they do to you.
Come with me.
I don't want to see
All the truth that's in your pain.
