Accepting The Pain

I'm looking at the scars you left on my heart...
And the rips it has from when you tore it apart...
It lays here motionless, and light as a feather...
It sits in it's cage, more fragile than ever...
The blood runs dry and the scabs take root...
Awaiting for these feelings to finally dilute...
But it lingers, and remains, and sticks, and stays...
So perhaps it's come time to accept these pains...
Sure the feeling seems like its too much to bear...
And sure I may even shed a tear here or there...
But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger they say...
And breath still draws into my lungs everyday...
So I've had to gain strength from all that's happened...
Gathering more power each time that I'm saddened...
Even with knowing this pain won't go away...
I can still crack a smile each and every day...
And I know while I rive, you still manage...
Knowing that you left infinite amounts of damage...
But the same tactics used to your advantage...
I now use those as an invisible bandage...
Because you thought you could destroy me!, but you couldn't...
I quietly take it in stride, though I shouldn't...
But taking all this pain and still remaining on the hinge...
Is ten times as hurtful to you than any revenge...
So as I prepare my heart to love one more time...
The thoughts of winning this battle helps me unwind...
Eventually my heart will pump regularly again...
And with every beat, the hurt will still remain...
So now when I feel any pain in my chest...
I can stop, smile, and know that its for the best...

You Can't Hurt Me Anymore...
