Pain

You creep up and find abode in me

You come to remind me of my immortality?

My humanness?

To cause me anguish?

 Searing anguish

Giving up feels easy, easier than you, pain

Living with you is hard

Surrender is sweet temptation

You feel greater than me

I admire your illusions

Very daring and arrogant

You are temporal, though

Here today, perhaps tonight you may stay

But you can cut the crap about staying beyond tonight

Where do you go and get that kind of haughtiness?

Filling up my room?

I breathe you, touch you

See you everywhere, my step is you.

I could say I am in awe of your audacity

On the contrary

I pity your self-absorbed sense of position

Your reigning nonsense

You don’t belong anywhere

You are a thief, yes you steal

Nothing is yours

But

You have caused me to feel, I know

Brought out my rawness, thank you

Touched my vulnerability, very clever

Tempted me, yes I am human!

Taken my thoughts where they dread

Showed me what I am, very revealing mirror that…

My value, my strength

My profundity

Interesting, don’t you think

In that pit of torment

There is still clarity

Senses still stay afloat

My profundity reigns.
