New Pain

 I need a new pain.
Something sweet to release me.
Some kind of other craving.
That would feel more pleasing.
New hate.
It only pollutes my being.
Need a new love to erase this feeling.
Need a new look, so you don’t know me.
Would rather be something you've never seen.
When I glance in the mirror I don’t wanna see what you once wanted.
My own face, my voice, my laugh, my mind is haunted.
Need something else to regret instead of ever knowing you.
Even for the moment just need someone new.  
Anything else to plague me at night.
Besides ever having you in my sight.
