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 |

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... " 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." |

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 |
