POETIC INSIGHT: Everybody Hurts.

EVERYBODY HURTS 

IT WAS COLD BUT THERE YOU WHERE SWEATING TEARS,

CUDDLED UP IN THE ARM CHAIR DEEP IN TEARS;

ONE LOOK AT YOU, I COULD TELL IT HURT.

I COULD SEE YOUR PAINS SOURCE,

I COULD SEE YOUR PAIN WAS LOVE.

 

YOU SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG;

YOU SINCERELY TOLD WHAT HE DID WRONG.

CONFIDING IN ME THAT DAY FELT STRANGE;

CAUSE IT MADE ME REALISE HOW MUCH MY PAIN HAD AGED.

 

I TOLD YOU OF MY ALREADY AGED PAIN;

YOU SAID “I’M SORRY”, AND BEGAN CRYING AGAIN.

I SAT BESIDE YOU DEEP IN THOUGHT,

OF YOU AND HOW BEST TO COMFORT.

 

WHEN ON MY HAND AND HEART I FELT A TOUCH;

YOUR SOFT HAND IT WAS, THAT TOUCHED MY HAND,

BUT YOUR SOFT HEART IT WAS, THAT TOUCHED MY HEART.

 

IT’S BEEN MONTHS SINCE WE FIRST MET,

AND WHAT I TOLD YOU THEN, I’LL TELL YOU NOW;

BE STRONG, WIPE YOUR TEARS AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.

BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE,

EVERYBODY HURTS.
