Pain
Margie Proctor 1970 (wv)
Some words are better left unspoken
Some lives are better left untouched
Some roads are better left untraveled
Some stories are better left untold
Some feelings are better left unshared
Some dreams are better left undreamt
Some paths are better left uncrossed
Some tears are better left unshed
Some wishes are better left unwished
Some trails are better left unwalked
Some fears are better left unfelt
Some needs are better left unfilled
Some doors are better left unopened
Some hopes are better left undone
Some desires are better left unsatisfied
