Pain

Pain deep in side the eyes,
pain to the core of a once beating love filled heart,
pain to a well knowledged mind, to fixated on the pain and loss inflicted upon it, that it’s become empty of love  and filled with despair,
when the love you give to another has left your eyes, heart and head 
and been replaced by grief, torment and the feeling of internal loneliness.
we have to ask ourselves what we are left with 
memories of our life shared loving, caring and building the strongest unbreakable bonds,
or pain,
unforgiving, heart wrenching, mind torturing Pain.

Because 
Pain kicks the door till the hinges snap,
spreads through your head like a loaded trap.
Rips up your sleep, feeds on your fears,
drinks your hope and pisses your tears.
It don’t just visit — it builds a nest,
and laughs while it crushes what you loved best.
