How Deep Is Your Pain

How Deep Is your Pain

by Slavic Spirit

You cannot hide, I see your ache.

I shaped its depth and the path you take.

So deep it runs, you turn away,

Afraid to face what you might find one day.

I watch you wonder, masked and dressed,

Yet still I see through every crest.

For all your veils, your shifting plea,

You cannot hide yourself from me.

You long for a place you’ve always known,

A pull so deep, you grasp for home.

I see that void and fill it then,

With hollow lines of us and them.

For love won’t grow, where the fear is sown,

And hate can’t build a lasting home.

I’ll do all I can to keep you blind,

For I too fear a day will come,

And you will look and choose your way,

To leave the lies that made you stay.
