It feels like I knife I my side
Everyday the wound grows deeper
I long ago past the point of treatment
The infection it leaves will never heal
If the knife is removed I fear the worst
If it were to be taken away my soul may fade
It has become part of me now
I hate that it is there yet …
Yet I long to see the one who put it there
I cringe at the thought of it gone
Even though it hurts more than any worldly pain
With all of this the worst is yet to come
You see the one who put the knife in me
Will never know she stabbed me so
I feel I should protect her for
My life would only show her sorrow woes
So everyday as this knife goes deeper
I watch as my sadness grows
But in the end I must ask is it worth it
And if the answer should be yes, how could this be so
Well let me tell you for every moment my attacker is near
Every second my life for once feels real


There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all
-Creed

Yes, how could this be so?  Hummm the mysteries of the twisted pain that love can breed!  Your description of that pain is clear and pensive.......these lines rocked me...

Good expression of the "pain of love."  Only you can choose whether or not it is warranted.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth

I'm glad this hit some thing Ethome, it was hard for me to write it.  Thx for the kind words.
