Another Painful Moment of Love

It stings, like one million bees
All finding their mark in one moment
Ripping skin to pieces
and injecting venom, 
making it hurt for a long time.

It makes you shake
Like when you spin around and around for a long time
the world underneath you seems unstable
when it is you who is more unstable than a spinning top

It heals you
Like time, like hugs, and like medicine
Sure it hurts, sure you sometimes wish your life over
But eventually the pain numbs
You'll feel better
And then you'll move on

It's closure
