Pleasure Or Pain

I had never been so happy in all my life or so miserable - I would often awaken in 
the middle of the night and weep silent tears knowing the sands of my 
happiness were slowly sifting away.  Many times I put on a cheerful façade - 
while I was slowly dying inside

The increasingly sensitive nerves constantly eating away at my sanity - walking 
the ever present tight-rope between my true happiness and HEART BREAK

Her love was a constant battle between pleasure & Pain - a high wire act - with 
nothing but cold hard reality to catch me if I should fall
