YOU ARE MY LOVE, MY PAIN

You are my love, my pain How do I overcome you? Your presence lingers Like a shadow that can't be shaken I try to move on But you are always there A constant ache in my heart A reminder of what once was I search for solace In memories and distractions But I always come back to you My love, my pain I don't know how to let go How to release you from my soul But I know I must find a way To heal, to move forward So I'll embrace the hurt And let it wash over me I'll accept that you are a part of me But I won't let you define me I'll find peace in the pain And strength in the love I'll learn to live with both And let go of the need to understand For you are my love, my pain And I will find a way to survive To love again, to feel again Even with you still in my heart.
