some know it as a piercing sensation you feel I your chest
others a suffocating with no air left for a breath
suddenly plunged into darkness
and shoved into the never ending depths of sadness
in a world were despair is the only light
that never fails to visit you at night
it eats away at your soul like an uninvited guest
over and over until there's nothing left
with no time to rest it haunts you in your sleep
were you call forth grim to your own reap
when you hate what you love and love what you hate
only then can you understand the contradiction which is pain
