“Going to Hurt”
Like an anticipated paper-cut
It’s going to hurt
It’s going to hurt for a while
Every word
Every spark
Every memory
Every time eyes close
Like an unavoidable rock in the road
It’s going to hurt
It’s going to hurt for a while
Every missed call
Every explanation
Every attempt
Every new wrinkle
Like an avalanche’s first crack
It’s going to hurt
It’s going to hurt for a while
Every whisper
Every pill
Every swallow
Every close call
I felt this pain in my chest
When I was young
Under weeping willows
Who new my fate first
It’s going to hurt
It’s going to hurt for a while
