Pain That Comes Thereafter!
© Jamie-Lisa Mclean
It feels like my whole world is falling apart
maybe I'm trying to hard

trying to push the feelings away
but it just wants to stay

all I want to do is die
drown in all the tears I cry

I sleep to take the pain away
even though I know it will never heal the emotions that I feel

smiles and laughter cover up the pain that comes thereafter
l’amour and kisses make new wishes
wishes that will never come true all because of you.
