White Pain

White is not an opaque color
It seemed to shimmer incandescent figures under the eve of light
A foreshadowing

Pain is the white that compliments your wedding dress
Tying the knot
Knowing you’ll be bound to it forever
Pain can be held and walked hand in hand down the aisle with
Your maid of honor

White
It’s the color that infests your eyes and hair and face
Starting with empty thoughts and eraser shavings caught in the bouquet
Making your solid black outlines a mere grey
White may not be opaque
But you succumb to the transparency 
While the pain fills the void your tears left

Pain loves to linger
Because it’s no stranger it feels like it belongs
Pain is loyal
It never forgets to white out all the right dates and remember to walk you home.

Don’t let Pain overstay its welcome
It’ll burrow a home into your head and kick out Calm and Cool
It’ll bond with Hate behind your back
But it’s not like that’s unknown
What a horribly manipulative thing Pain is
But without it in your life
What is home?

Jess Kim,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
