come to think of it

pain IS like the EX, and the EX is pain.

come to think of it,
you are a lot like the
background noise
in my head
that is my constant
companion
since the accident.

you pound,
you ache
you grind,
and every once in a while,
you poke me
with a thousand
tiny pins --

and as I wait
for referrals
and appointments,
I also long
for the prescription
that will rid me
of you.

much love to you,

None of it was your doing, but thanks anyway. :)

but i 've been hurt too before, maybe not as much as your pain, but the pain was just as real - so i feel for you
