When Does It All End?

Pain.

Suffering.

Regret.

When does it all stop?

When does the pain go away?

With each passing day,

It's like an overwhelming wave

Crashing down and suffocating

The life in me.

Misery on a daily.

Fake smiles.

Forced laughter.

Putting on a front.

So the world won't see the hurt.

The emptiness.

When does it all stop?

When does the pain go away?

Do I cross your mind?

Am I just a temporary fix?

Will you awake in the morning

And realize you don't need me?

It's hard passing the time,

Not knowing how long it will last.

Can't eat.

Won't sleep.

Afraid of the nightmares within.

When does it all stop?
