The Migraine Enemy

The nasty enemy arrives at my door.
He taunts me and hurts me, 
Till I can't stand it any more.
He blinds my eyes with outrageous pain.
When he's been around, 
I'm been left totally drained.
The migraine enemy is a terrible fellow.
I can't stand light and noise,
So I retreat beneath my pillow.
I cower and can't face my friends.
I don't want to be disturbed.
Till the enemy leaves,and it all ends.

I have an unending pain in my shoulder area that I have written poems about as you have done with your migraine. My wish is for us both to find the relief we seek. Chronic pain is NO FUN and it really keeps us down!!
