What Am I?

By deviousgirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am what makes you cringe as I walk by. I am what sits next to you and never gets up. I am what clings to you, and refuses to leave. You plead for me to go and make it stop! But there I am - relentless. I am what steals the warmth, in your life, heart and soul. I wait for you, ready to fall. I am what makes you cry into the middle of the night. I am what makes you bleed, I see it trickling down. I am what makes you wish for the opposite. I am the dream crusher, I am present when things go bad. I am what drives you insane and then turns you numb. I am what makes you have goose bumps on your arms. I am what makes you want to forget. I am a bad dream in the middle of the night. I am your screams of heartache, I am what makes you dread defeat. I am what eats away at your heart. I am what makes you feel empty and alone. I am the thing that watches you day and night. I am different to everyone, they all experience me in different ways. Some get more or less. But the experience is never positive. I drive you do to things that otherwise you'd never think of. I cause you destruction in more ways then one - What am I ?????????? I am Pain!!! Written October 16th, 2001 © on Nov 12 2001 04:27 AM PST   10 • 0
