The Pain Exceeds

I've learned
in this small time
love can never be owned
for that's a clear sign
that love was never there
a twist of our minds
the poses in the pictures
proof of our crimes
against one another
cause we never were
the faces that you saw
were trying to rebirth
what existed in the beginning
clawing to unearth
a pure emotion
lying would always hurt
See 
cause when i needed you
i grew tired 
of counting ways
you could have been there
a stopgap to the rage
that grew in me
every time i had to face
the world alone
as it carved in me a place
a hollowed point
where my soul once laid
