PAIN..

Pain struck me :

like a cold dagger,

Plunged abruptly into,

My unanticipating heart.

Deeper than the speed with which;

You swiveled your face,

And averted your eyes

 - on meeting mine.

         

 The pain in my heart

 The sorrow in my soul:

Wringing and squeezing my very being.

Tears of this painful torment,

Run down my cheeks,

From my dull red eyes

 - that may ne'er become dry.

Really enjoyed this. It reminds me of something that would be written after a break up, but also of a life tragedy. I like how there are many meanings within one. It's one of those poems you could give to a group of people and get a dozen different themes, stories, morals etc. :)
