Pain

Pain

A Poem by Lauren Beth

 

Pain deep down inside

A burning, internal combustion

Heart pounding fiercely in my chest

Can’t control my breath

Confusion, anger ,turmoil

Sadness…...

 

World spinning, screaming

Are your words sincere?

I can’t tell, cloudy, it’s not clear

A fog follows close behind me

Can’t break free

 

So much revulsion, yet

so much insurmountable love

Fed up with lamenting over you

But can’t possibly stop loving you

What do I do?

 

Live in this hurricane

Or trek through the monsoon?

And maybe someday break through

Another great piece here.. oh love can be so darn antagonistic sometimes.. I like the words you use especially a burning internal combustion .. cause sometimes we yearn so much we feel like we are going to explode in emotions! Love is such a great feeling and is also pain and selfish desires we have to contain! Thank you for reminding me of the power of love! =)

Love. Is there anything worse/better? It can be so great it makes your whole life better and, at the same time, it can be so hurtful that it puts everything else in your life on pause. "Live in this hurricane

Or trek through the monsoon?" < That's my favorite part. Good read.

Yes indeed, very nicely done. I am quite pleased I stumbled upon you and picked up a read. I do enjoy the write, very compeling and I just can't resist others misery.

The conflicts of the heart are mysterious... I really like the complexity of emotions you show when the love is bad yet you can't stay away.

So much revulsion, yet
so much insurmountable love
Fed up with lamenting over you
But can't possibly stop loving you
What do I do?

Very nicely done.
