Pain Fool
The pain does not diminish
It does not ever go away
Injury to the heart has permanence
Rarely can it be healed
It's just like luggage
You carry the hurt
Around with your sorry ass
A heart that's been broken
Can never be fixed
Can never be fully healed
The scars just remain
Reminders of battles lost
With those that hate
Without a real reason
Takers who take your love
And spit it back in your face
Past appreciation replaced
Our history re-constructed
Such a different narrative
The truth is missing
Under this liars moon
There will be no sunshine
They will see to that
Despite twilight in years
They refuse to allow
Any chance of happiness
This done deliberately
No forgiveness considered
Despite past showers of love
No credit left in this account
One persons lies becomes truth
Resigned to have to die alone
It's what they want to happen
No forgiveness, no happiness
Their price is exacted without
Fear or favour; treated like
A man that doesn't matter
A street beggar you can piss on
No love, no respect
Erased from your history books
Like a bad smell
This is what you wanted
This is what you chose
Your exile was required
By your own actions
By your own desires
And poor judgement
You are what you are
You'll get what I give
This is what it is
You've failed miserably
As the pain subsides
And I point and laugh
It does not ever go away
Injury to the heart has permanence
Rarely can it be healed
It's just like luggage
You carry the hurt
Around with your sorry ass
A heart that's been broken
Can never be fixed
Can never be fully healed
The scars just remain
Reminders of battles lost
With those that hate
Without a real reason
Takers who take your love
And spit it back in your face
Past appreciation replaced
Our history re-constructed
Such a different narrative
The truth is missing
Under this liars moon
There will be no sunshine
They will see to that
Despite twilight in years
They refuse to allow
Any chance of happiness
This done deliberately
No forgiveness considered
Despite past showers of love
No credit left in this account
One persons lies becomes truth
Resigned to have to die alone
It's what they want to happen
No forgiveness, no happiness
Their price is exacted without
Fear or favour; treated like
A man that doesn't matter
A street beggar you can piss on
No love, no respect
Erased from your history books
Like a bad smell
This is what you wanted
This is what you chose
Your exile was required
By your own actions
By your own desires
And poor judgement
You are what you are
You'll get what I give
This is what it is
You've failed miserably
As the pain subsides
And I point and laugh

Does seem we hurt family members quicker than strangers.
Just shows how shallow and callous we humans can be.
Painful to read, David.

george carlin once described the human race as "semi-civilised jungle beasts" - I subscribe to that point of view - we as a species are the most deadly and untrustworthy - there are notable exceptions :-))))
Thank you much :-))))))))))))))

I feel your pain in this, family seem to have a golden ticket to treat other members like dirt as though they have no feelings. A brilliant write, well expressed. I have family like this. Hugs !

You've heard me say this before but anyone who treats others in such a fashion is not acting from a place of love. I don't know where they lost that or if they ever had it, but that's not love. And you deserve nothing less, my friend. Sending such fierce hugs for this painful write.

Such a sad and heartfelt write .. It is beyond comprehension that those who are supposed to love, protect, and have your back are the same ones who will stab you once it is turned .. I "feel" the pain.
Hugs !!

the human animal is untrustworthy regardless of family ties - sad that! :-(((
"They say you can't pick your family: I say toxic people are just that; only pick the good ones"
thank you for your constant support - many Hugs on their way :-)))))

I really don’t understand how people can be this way, so heartless and selfish with no regard for someone so deserving of love as you! It breaks my heart that those who are meant to be family can treat you this way.
But we will be a new family- together soon, me and you, with love and hugs under the new moon 💖 I love you David!

George Carlin described human beings as "semi-civilised jungle beasts" I think he was right human beings capable of deliberate cruelty and evil :-(
