What of a Painful Love?

They say every action is either done in fear or out of love

At 1st, it was all in love

Now I sit here staring face to face with fear for the 1st time

And that\'s why I wrote this rhyme

It\'s time I tell somebody this

I have a pain in my heart were some emotion fits

I can\'t get out of this pain though.

It is my worst foe...

I\'m wrapped in it

Encased it it.

Ashamed I am not

Because he may break me, but not my spirit.

Even if my bones rot.

I will NEVER let him tare it.

He may shed my blood onto the floor

But that doesn\'t hurt my core.

He may make me black and blue

Even if my heart....once was true...

No matter what I felt before

I can\'t take anymore

Yet he traps me here

And I refuse to tear.

I once gave my heart to this man

Thinking he\'d b true

But then he threw it in the can

And I realize I was a fool

In trusting him at all

He...caused my fall...

Yet my pride,

Though I hide

Is not phased

I am not dazed

I will not let him consume me

I will not let him control me

He is not my master,

Nor am I a slave.

I will run faster

I will not cave

I don\'t know where I\'m goin\'

I know my hurt I am not showin\'

I\'ll hide behind these walls

I built each of them myself.

The outside world, I hear calls

But I let my emotions sit on a shelf.

I will show pain to no man

I will not bow to any man

I will cover my pain until it fades

I will put on my daily masquerades

So I don\'t get hurt again...
