That's The Thing About Pain... Poem by Portia Lane

That's The Thing About Pain...

Rating: 3.5


That's the thing about pain
It demands to be felt
No matter how unwilling the victim
There are no exceptions allowed
The rule is: it hurts
But only as much as it should
If it could hurt more or less
Believe me it would

That's the thing about pain
It never feels like it will cease
No matter how long its presnce is felt
Be it a second, a day, or a week
The rule is: it will pass
But only when it should
If it could heal any sooner or later
Believe me it would

That's the thing about pain
It has a mind of its own
No one can control it
As it wishes, it comes and goes
The rule is: it comes when it must
And leaves when it should
If it could come or go at a better time
Believe me it would
