Post No. 872

Pain
.
You have become
A second skin
Closer than a shadow
Nearer than kith or kin
An integral part of my heart
Seldom absent in the present
A constant companion
With degrees of contrast
More so now than in the past
To prise myself loose
I must find a distraction
Requiring my fullest attention
My complete focus
So you gently curl around me
In the quiet of the night
