Escape

Exploding pain,
continuing for
an assumed eternity
relief seems impossible

Is it physical
be it emotional
what does this matter
the pain doesn't leave

Pain is always there
it can never be escaped
it is a mastermind that never lets up
and knows just when to strike

Irony is its greatest companion
joining together
to reek havoc upon one soul
and torment it into eternity

Like blood flowing endlessly
revealing itself to all that will see
puddling into a pool
to further torment the soul

There is but one escape
that can be found on this earth
it is the love of others
both towards and from
