THE GRIP OF PAIN BY BHENGU SS

What is pain but a silent scream, 
An ache in the heart, 
A numbness that blanks the mind?

What is pain but a fatal stab, 
A mortal blow to trust, 
A scar that never heals?

What is pain but a ghostly reminder, 
A reminder of sorrow that makes you tear, 
A specter of sorrow haunting every step?

What is pain but a lingering embrace, 
A feeling that shadows you like a dreadful scar, 
A shadow following, ever present, ever dark?

What is pain but my constant companion, 
A melancholy embrace that leads me to sorrow, to despair, to the brink of oblivion?
