It's a funny feeling
When you finally give up
Stop putting time and effort into lost causes
Cease fighting battles you will never win

It's almost liberating
Almost.
Til you feel the void make its presence known
And defeat is more palpable than ever before

But you say nothing
Stay silent; it's not worth it
Too much pain in speaking
And hasn't enough agony already been endured?

Agony...
It can be beautiful
Sweet release
In a pain so sharp

You wonder if your heart will finally cleave in two
And almost wish it would
Almost.
But that would end the pain

And you like Agony a bit too much
Oh, the love of pain,
The sweetest of a all perversions

Dear Cierra, pain still makes us feel alive. And pain when "savored" consciously automatically pushes us ahead into that longed for place where there is unadulterated joy.

Excellent poem, to which I relate.

Depth, purely felt.

Enjoyed your style and use of words in this write.
