It Hurts To Know

Tears stream down
As I think these thoughts
That run through my mind
As the time passes on.

Each night
I lay restlessly
Trying to sleep
But the thoughts keep persisting.

A tragedy
Inspired by a true story
That leaves me crying each night
Until the early rise of morning.

Sad, hurt
And fragile inside
But what can I do
But just sit here and cry?

These things happen
All the time, I\'m told
But it just seems worse
When it\'s in your own home.

The empty feeling(s)
Of neglect each day
Only pile up
And never go away.

Bad memories
That remind me of the past
Create discomfort inside
And a pain that only lasts.

As my life continues
The pain keeps growing
But besides this suffering
The hardest part is knowing...
