Exquisite Beauty

Comfort eludes me

Pain engulfs me

The gnawing is exquisite 


I’m used to sharp

Throbbing, dull, 

stabbing, pinching pain


This pain is sickening


It is gnawing

It is grueling 

It is suffocating 


This pain is maddening


It is all consuming 

It takes over all my senses

It leaves me breathless 


This pain chokes me


It holds me tight

It refuses to let go

It is so beautiful 


The intensity of its grip

The intimacy we share

The jealousy it possesses

Over my comfort
