Pain...
       Endless ripples
       Like the stinging of
       wind blown sand
       A constant ache
       A never ending bleed of heart

Pain...
       Like hands at my throat
       squeezing
       Tears held back until it feels
       like the ocean beating at me

Pain...
       Tearing its way through
       my mind
       Like a runaway train on
       an endless track

Pain...
       Blacker than the depths of hell
       Colder than a serpenst kiss
       All because....I love you

Sounds like quite a destructive kind of love to me.

That's fixable pain, my friend.

Cool Write.

Yes, it's good to see you and to read you, dear Paula.

Love your painful love expressions! No love without pain they say ...

Love,
