Love Poem: The Elements of Pain

The Elements of Pain

depression

is driving 95 
trying to convince yourself
not to swerve past the white line

sadness

is sitting in solitude
listening to a song
that tries to make you cut yourself
....and succeeds

anger

is being naive
and trusting someone
until you realize the deceit

heartbreak

is being in love
that comes to a screeching halt
but never stops hurting

how else could you spell pain?
