Heartache

I’m familiar with the pain 
Of when you look at that person with adoring eyes
Only for them to look at someone else 

I’m familiar with the pain 
Of that slight stabbing feeling when someone you loved 
Is with someone else

I’m familiar with the pain
Of when someone rejects you,
Twisting the knife further into your heart

I’m familiar with the pain
When someone you thought was your friend 
Stabs you in the back and with the other hand helps you up

I’m familiar with the pain 
When an old lover has found another 
Before you

I’m familiar with the pain 
Of never being quite enough, 
Hair not perfect enough,
Teeth not bright enough,
Legs not thin enough 

I’m familiar with pain
I can’t escape it
