Description
I wish you understood pain
I wish you knew what it meant
I wish that you could see it
Taste it
Touch it
Be the sadist to my pain-starved heart
I wish you understood pain.

I wish you understood longing
That desire for a kindred soul
That you felt the emptiness
The need
That you knew what it was to be alone
To cry in the dark
I wish you understood longing.

I wish you understood anger
I wish you knew rage
Knew hate
Felt the fire in your guts
The heat in your veins
Fists clenched and knuckles popped
I wish you understood anger.

I wish you understood despair
That you knew the certainty of loss
The knowledge that you had nothing
That all you once hoped for was gone
In silence
Dead and buried, lost at sea
I wish that you understood despair.

I wish that you understood love
All encompassing
All forgiving
Protecting and providing
Willing to fight, to die, to wait
Forever scarring soul, heart, skin
Letting go and watching the blood run
I wish you understood love.
