Beautiful Pain

Mine eye of mind, beauty is not without the pain that is brought. Brings no cheer, nothing held dear, if not seen, life's peril and rot. Can one see beauty, no pain dealt? No pain in mind? No grief felt? Or is a loss, life's set cost? Shows worth of good that has dwelt. A lover lost. A sunset's end. Your dreams crushed. Loss of a friend. Making things bright, what's taken from sight. Beauty sans pain, cannot lend. So give me pain, proving beauty. Offer heart broke, existing in me. Pain not ploy, robbing joy. Only a truth, just not free. Pain is proof, that a thing was more. Than simple mundaneness knocking at door. Something was right. Someone brought light. An experience touched. Shook you to core. -Angel Fatale-
