#169 His Pain (A Dor Dele)
When he’s talking about love
He loved her so much
He choose her to be in his life
Till death do their part...
He made a decision that
She didn’t considered
To look back.
Now, he has scars
Scars for life
He has doubts
Doubts about one day
He will love again
Trust again
Doubts about if one day
Someone will truly
Love him...
But at the same time
I can see in his eyes
The love is there
Is Inside of him
The love that wants to consume him
The love that he wants
To share
To live
To feel
To give

Eu posso ver a dor dele
Quando ele fala sobre amor
Ele a amava tanto
Ele a escolheu para estar em sua vida
Até que a morte os separassem.
Ele tomou uma decisão que
Ela não considerou
Em olhar para trás.
Agora ele tem cicatrizes
Cicatrizes para a vida
Ele tem dúvidas
Dúvidas se um dia
Ele irá amar de novo
Confiar de novo
Dúvidas sobre se um dia
Alguém vai verdadeiramente
Amá-lo
Mas ao mesmo tempo
Eu posso ver nos olhos dele
O amor está lá
Está dentro dele
O amor que quer consumi-lo
O amor que ele quer
Compartilhar
Viver
Sentir
Dar

A strangely similar piece called Missed that I wrote a few years ago.

I sat there like all the air had been let out of me, deflated and wrinkled.
I hated myself for caring about him. Why did I love such a person?
How could I live with someone so devoid of compassion and romance?
I felt a small sob deep in my chest, a quiet silent cry to the gods.
“ I missed you, “ he said.
My ears perked up like a cat at feeding time.
My eyes sparkled and I could feel the blood rush into my face.
“He missed me “, a choir of angels sang, I could feel the giddy grin instantly appear on my face, my heart rang like a church bell.
I wanted to sing it at the top of my voice.
“He missed me.”
“You missed me? “ I said cautiously, trying not to let my enthusiasm betray the quietness of my voice.
“Yes, I threw a rock at you and missed “
I then heard him loading his gun, it was at that moment I knew all was lost.
We have all done it, holding on to that last bit of we think is love. In the hopes that they will take us back and everything will be ok. But it's not, and still, we hang on, and it takes some massive violent event for us to release our hold on that one-way love.
