Pain exists within
A juxtaposition of
Sadness & joy
Big eyes flutter
Eyelashes that blinker
Tear drops form
Ice Queen melting
Long I stood
Watching in awe
A succinct melody
Played through bones
Frozen in place
Music gracefully crafted
Echoed beyond the
Silence that followed
Seeing her there
Stoically stood without
A guardian angel
Tears brought pain
Each splash burns
Holes in skin
Long I stood
Finally I knew
She wouldn't allow
Herself to feel
Pleasure or joy
Sadness or despair
Sadness is always
Hidden beneath ribs
Safely stored inside
Joy is always
The gratitude heart
Filled locked in
For feeling is
A forsaken blessing -
an accepted curse.
