Pain is the Price

Dear Anonymous,

My armor was strong and unbreakable

Walls piled high with an all-day guard

Somehow you dodged my protection

And found your way in and slowly but

Surely my armor fell down around you and I

Showed you myself and I was finally happy

 But one day things changed and you

 And I weren’t the same it was like

One day you were there and the next day

You weren't you disappeared without a trace

Tears and pain consumed me sometimes

I wished you never knew me, now I

Have to repair the damage you caused

And my guard is better than ever so

For next time I know better

Pain is the price I pay for caring

It is what I feel from your disappearing

I try to stay strong but I sometimes remember

How you once cared and it hurts now

Since I have to bear this constant ache

I get with these memories but I learned

Pain is the price to pay for loving any way

I learned good things do come to an end

And we were one of those things

Pain is the price that I pay for loving you 

No longer sincerely yours,

The one you lost
