The Way Of Pain
If it's not hot it spoils the grove
If it doesn't hurt I'm hardly moved
It's just my way
My way is the way of the pain
So let me chase the goose
While you let them loose
Even if I sleep with hands full
At dawn they'll be empty again
To seek and never find
To look but stay blind
To spend a lifetime listening
Alas but never hear
The repercussion of following the path of distortion
Have led me to this endless frustration
So I carry my cross
Up high to where I'll be nailed
Your love was never for me
I knew that all the while
Torn apart from jealousy
But I hid it in a smile
If it doesn't hurt I'm hardly moved
It's just my way
My way is the way of the pain
So let me chase the goose
While you let them loose
Even if I sleep with hands full
At dawn they'll be empty again
To seek and never find
To look but stay blind
To spend a lifetime listening
Alas but never hear
The repercussion of following the path of distortion
Have led me to this endless frustration
So I carry my cross
Up high to where I'll be nailed
Your love was never for me
I knew that all the while
Torn apart from jealousy
But I hid it in a smile

Sometimes, we smile through our tears especially when we know indifference is setting in. Good read dustyjjewels.

Yeah it's the smile of confidence, in preparation for the worst. It helps a little to know it's coming and you're prepared for it. Thanks Grace for contributing.
