Pain is a hollowed out hurt deep down inside

pain is the death of a new blushing bride

pain is alienation and loneliness rolled up into one

pain is the death of a new born son

pain can easily be described as frigid and cold

but it also can be sharp mighty and bold

pain can make you do things you ordinairily would not do

like jump off a cliff or shoot little kids in a zoo

pain can become  a nasty emotion that just east you away

and it can be so very hard especially at night to keep at bay

pain is the darkness with all the nightmares that consume you deep in the night

pain is a whirring spinning never ending eddy filled with plight

pain is jealous brutal clever and unkind

and it fills you up until it drives you out of your very own mind..........
