Pain, Pain Go Away!

—:: Pain, Pain Go Away! ::—

Pain, pain go away!
My writhing heart now wants some play.
I entertained you for so many years,
With ranting, panting and floods of tears.
Just spare me now and go your way,
Pain, pain go away!

You have been such a nice old mate,
But I don’t want you to stick with my fate.
Look, there are legions of smiling faces,
Why don’t you take them in your embraces?
Can’t you just free me from your sway?
Pain, pain go away!
Please don’t come back another day.
