A name for pain

If pain had another name it would be you, A shadow that lingers, a darkness that grew. You wrap me in sorrow, in tears, and despair, Pulling at my heartstrings with merciless flare. Your touch is like fire, burning me inside, A relentless reminder of all that has died. You whisper of lost dreams and shattered desires, A haunting melody that never tires. If pain had a name, it would surely be true, For every time I think of it, I think only of you. MTF
