    Welcome back my old friend pain I forgot how you demand my attention Nothing compares to the way you feel The paralyzing strength of your grip For in your absence my old friend I find myself forgetting the dance we do Tonight you make your presence known As I grip the covers and beg for relief To live a life in pain is no way to be but escaping you seems impossible because even on my strongest nights you seem to easily invade my privacy Don't count me out because I am a fighter you have yet to see the height of my will I am taking back my life one day at a time He has given me beautiful dreams to pursue So I beg for you to loosen your grip on me as a deep breath I desperately struggle to take The tears burn my eyes as they well up If only they took the pain with them as they fell No matter how much light and love is in my life Your presence attempts to smother my soul Tonight my head is buried in my tear soaked pillow Muffling the sound of the not so silent tears I cry I want to scream in the darkness my anger Pain can feel free to now leave my body alone This is the one time in my life I have found love With thoughts of him I am now arming myself I am wearing our love like a warrior's shield Taking on my old friend pain with a vengeance A mental war I am waging without surrender Pain can only control my life if I allow it to win His love came out of nowhere as a beautiful gift My mind fills now with memories of our journey With a deep breath I loosen the grip of my sheets Pain wants a war but with love's help I will win
