Pain

Pain is not
The break of skin
Or a slap that formed a bruise

But it is
The break of heart
Or the deep dent in a soul

Pain comes in a variety of forms, and poetry is one of the ways to express the kind I am talking about here. Pain.

Sad

Nothing
can make me sad today

Not the air brushed skies
painted in a disarray of grays

Not the frown of a stranger
darkening the room

Not the loss of a lover
or the goodbye from a friend

As much as it hurts
All good things come to an end

But I am not sad
today
**I am not sad

Regret

A death sentence
but worse.

It is commended by you.

Single Tear

A single tear
could break my skin
when sticks and stones
couldn't.

I'm not sure

I come back inside
cold from the windy winter day
worst day to wear a short sleeve
but
you know about my bad decisions

I sit down
hands, face and feet numb

"My hands are freezing!"

I rub them together
no warmth

You watch me
suddenly
grab my hand
interlock our fingers

my heart stops
I cease to breathe
from the cold
or you
I'm not sure

You laugh
I look down

I interlocked my fingers wrong
How did I fail so terribly?
Oops

Readjust

I am happy
and warm

from your warmth
or the rush of unexplainable emotions
I'm not sure

Everyday Smiles

Every time I think of your face
I smile
like an idiot
a big silly grin
and it happens in the awkwardest of places
people look at me
"Is she okay?"

I don't care
please
make me smile everyday

Mr. Right

I will meet the "right" person
in one who constantly
surprises me

In a good way :)
