Pink Vulnerability

I continue to feel the searing pain.  ever constant. so keen. Not the kind     that heals fast,       open wound that closes. But, the kind that stays vulnerably        with the passing years. Three decades          and still counting. Woe to this pain! With laden anguish,  The heart's bemoaning. Thinking it was born      without a name. Only to find then      at a much later time; giving in. Oblivious now. Unashamed     that my bosom groans,         complains.
