I'll stay and play with my muse;
I'll enjoy my peaceful anguish,
When you'd think I'd win I lose.

Watch me as I tear my heart out,
And my teardrops fall like rain;
If only I could let you feel it,
But I'm sure you'd go insane.

Give me back my darkest hour,
When the feeling was so pure;
Give me back my childhood wonder,
Before I knew life was a whore.

Leave me in my painful comfort,
As life slithers down the drain;
Only when there's nothing left -
Is there anything to gain.

Painful Comfort 1

Topic: anguished

Leave me in my painful comfort,
I'll stay and play with my muse;
I'll enjoy my peaceful anguish,
When you'd think I'd win I lose.

Watch me as I tear my heart out,
And my teardrops fall like rain;
If only I could let you feel it,
But I'm sure you'd go insane.

Give me back my darkest hour,
When the feeling was so pure;
Give me back my childhood wonder,
Before I knew life was a whore.

Leave me in my painful comfort,
As life slithers down the drain;
Only when there's nothing left -
Is there anything to gain.

The second stanza is by far the best part of the poem. It fully captures the pain of the poem. An overall great poem.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url).

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
