Darkness. Such a beautiful word. I hold it to my chest like a baby, even though it claws at me; rips gouges in my heart. I hold tight and whisper, but never does it calm. It always struggles; moving as I clutch it harder; rending my heart in two. Always mauling, writhing, tearing, shredding. And yet I love it. Alone. Such an elegant word. I wrap it around myself like a cloak, even though it burns my skin in every place it touches. I cling closer and it caresses me, but it always sears. Flowing around me like isolated, water in a dead wind. Burning without flames. Never going out, Always scorching, charring, flaming. And yet I love it. Pain. Such a tempting word. I hold it close around me like a blanket, even though it kills me, luring me with agony. I bring it tighter and it closes in, encasing me; always hurting, endless pain engulfing me; lashing me with tender whips of lost love. Devastating, sweet, beautifully desecrating. And yet I love it. Nothing is more painful than realizing he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him. (Unknown) |

A thoughtful write, and wistfully, beautifully composed. However, to paraphrase a semi-famous movie line, "Clawed, scorched, and whipped is no way to go through life, child..." |

So often we hold our pain close, thinking no one else will understand, that we can never get over it. But we are only prolonging our own pain. |
