Pain

As intense pain races through the vains of my mind and my soul's brown eyes splash their tears I inhale the past supplying my life with bygone thoughts through the years As the extreme heat of suffering scorches love's skin and you apply dry ice to my burns I melt from the sting, later to blister festering from your callous turns As you gently place my head into your guillotine and decapitate my ideas from your life I am left with the whole world on my shoulders As you storm away, and wipe-off my knife.
