Pain

Pain

Keep me here.
In this moment there is little else
There is only the question of pain
Thick and tangible

Overtaken with the insanity of hope
For another outcome
The cravings are delicious
Their pain a reward

Only through this do I have you
One small moment each craving, burning
In this moment there is little else
But you for me

I’d trade it all
But not for the moment of joy you’d expect
But for one opportunity to full faced and breast to breast
Show you my pain, my agony and my hurt

And in that moment,
A watcher’s delight
To see it mirrored on your face
That would delight my heart.
