Pain, Pain, Go Away …I Wonder How Much You Care !!

Pain, Pain Go Away!
When you lie to me, you are not protecting me

You are creating a dark cave in my soul


Pain, pain, go away … Don’t come back another day!


When you don’t protect me, you are not letting me fight my own battles

You are showing me that I am not worthy of protection

Pain, pain, go away … Don’t come back another day!


When you are dishonest with me, you are not getting yourself out of trouble
You are digging a grave in my heart

Pain, pain, go away … Don’t come back another day!

When you lie to me

I have to wonder how much you care

When the TV and websites are more important than me

I have to wonder how much you care

When you procrastinate about little things I ask of you

I have to wonder how much you care

When you drink coffee with your friends while I work to pay the rent

I have to wonder how much you care

When your virtual relationship with another gets more attention than I do

I have to wonder how much you care

When I ask you to be open and you cover your tracks

I have to wonder how much you care

Pain, pain, go away … Don’t come back another day!

When you feel you need to tell me lies when I only want the truth

I have to wonder how much you care

When you allow your children to treat me like a leper

I have to wonder how much you care

Pain, pain, go away …Don’t come back another day!

It is only with truth, honesty and respect that I can live freely

Pain, pain, go away … Don’t come back another day!            © Dianne Lang
