Pain

She is merciless

Her weapons are sharper than knives

And cuts deeper than swords

An assassin

Her attacks are precise and measured

It comes in waves

That will leave you gasping for air

And light

As it takes you under

Over and over again

 

She is unforgiving

Indiscriminate of who you are

Or where you are from

Young or Old

Male or Female

Black or White

She will still find you

And she will introduce herself

Until you are well acquainted with her

 

I have met her countless times

Our relationship growing closer over the years

A friend who is misunderstood

Most fear her

I fear that I might be in love with her
