Bring on the Pain

Bring on the Pain 3/30/03

perched on my patio chair, crouched, ready for a fight
shields up, my mind sharpening every letter into words of hate and disgust.
brewing @ the coming conflict, bracing for the first blow.

the elements know what’s to come. what a stage that is given,
3am
wind gusts: 30mph
temperature: 65°f
100% chance of thunderstorms

photoflash in the distance
raindrops glide down my neck
curtains of mist in vertigo

Then, you unleash your worst.
picking me apart, rumbling my innards

i should strike back
but i do not.
4 years of history
2 years of emotions
2 days to sift through it all.

a sudden peaceful calm enwraps me –
your fury grows your words hack deeper and deeper.
the rain-washes the reopened wounds.
collecting puddles of emotion at my feet.
dulled to it all, as you throw your worst.
all i can do it sit back, feel the tap of the raindrops on my forehead
and sigh.

“bring on the pain”
and the pain came down in buckets.

the pain may come in buckets, but that's when you realise you're stronger than you think you are, and that no matter what, you're surrounded by friends and loved ones who will share that with you.

*hugs*

Perhaps now it can feel more like a light sprinkling of rain than a downpour. The world needs rain every now and then, sweetie, but it's summertime! Go out and play in the sun.

Talk to you soon.

That was great. Your experience is very fluently communicated. Not a syllable wasted
