Pain and Pleasure
I have gripped both
The blade and the hilt
Of this double-edged sword
Of whirlwind emotions
That courses through
My animated corpse
I want this freight train roller coaster
To be derailed forever
I no longer want
To hurt or to be hurt by
Myself or anyone else
I’m so tired of pain
That I am willing
To forfeit pleasure
To forever escape it.
