Pain.

It takes different sizes and forms 

Occurring as a light drizzle or fatal storm 

A reflex in response to betrayed love and loyalty

That causes my body to ache uncontrollably

Its darkness appears around the corner and silently lurks 

Waiting to inspire a devastating world of hurt 

When my heart thuds suddenly into my chest

I am aware of the presence of my unwanted guest 

That fails to let me live a life of joy

Rather, it completes its task of leaving me destroyed

Such turmoil can be felt in your words, seems these feeling are familiar to me. Good poem

and when it does arrive at our door, it is that guest who never knows when to leave...always overstaying its welcome.
nicely presented metaphor here.

Dark, sad and a painful read. Expressing pain from someone who has suffered and felt maybe more than most. Thank you for sharing your wise and heartfelt, sincere poem.

Ooh! Your words are filled with such sadness, and the readers feel the pain and suffering to which you've been exposed. Although dark, I liked this write. Edit out the apostrophe in L5 (should be its).

You've certainly expressed yourself in poetic form. Hope you emerge from the destructive forces in life. Keep writing to ease the pain. :-)

Thank you so much for this review and the tip! Very much appreciated Tamara!

No problem. Writing is much better than dwelling on pain, suffering and bad experiences. Watch some comedy shows on TV. :-)
