Love & Pain

These rags drip my pain.
Love eases the pain.

Love wraps me around my waist
as a warm embrace.

Love is like the air.
It surrounds those who bare.

Each breath I take
is like taking off
a metal dress.

Love doesn’t prevent the event
that healing presents.

I try my best,
only to rest
in the arms of love.

Even quiet,
still from all the thrills,
love waits.
