Pain Is Not Painful

Pain is not painful
Until you fall in love
That moment you feel 
a missing rib in your body
and honey water turns sour
When you wish just for a moment
Of freedom from earth
When your brain can't reason well 
and your eyes can't see well
The time you enter the process
of transition 
From old self to new self
Knowing the reality of life
Knowing that love is not real 
It's a trick to cause you pain
One moment of joy
and years of pains
Love makes you wallow in regret
Where you find yourself in dark corners
Gummed to the wall waiting 
For death to grace your soul
with eternal bliss
And eventually you
fall in love again
Knowing the terrible 
Fate that awiats you

Thank you for responding. I can't put my finger on why I like your poems so much. I guess that's what poetry is about. It captures emotion in a way we can't describe in every day communication. Thank you and please keep writing.
