You are a hangover that never leaves

A throbbing pain inside of me

I wake to its presence unceasingly,

The sorrow just never seems to end.

I long for these wounds to heal

But you are preventing them to mend

 

And yet, I sense that you have not a care.

In your disappointment with me

You denied everything that was there.

 

But let me plead with you and ask you,

How were we to carry on?

When you have no understanding of

The things you did wrong?

 

And so I shouldered your blame

Like it was mine to bear,

Until I realised I had no fault

But it was you who was unaware…

 

Now I have so little to say

Because the pain is just too much;

When everybody is asking

The same questions,

Oh how easily I get fed up!

 

Each to their own matter and each

Will claim theirs is more important

How eagerly we spill out our words

As if we wished to be rewarded!

 

To the least of this I plead

A guilty charge

I fought my battle to the bitter end

But it was the end that caught me

Off guard

 

Now I have poured out all I have to give

I wonder what energy is there

Or motivation to live?
