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
