Pain

The leeches, 
That slither down
Our skin.
The vermins that
Eat over the 
Leftover sleep.

We're not afraid
Of the devil, 
That pays a visit
In our dreams.

The wounds, 
Inflicted this way 
Can eventually
Be healed. 

The worst kind
Of pain has certain,
Hidden softness
About it. Like-

The rose petals
That slit open
Our veins..but
We've been happy
About the smell
That has stayed. 

The bygones,
Who left a memory 
Without care and
The nostalgia, 
Has been ruining
Our days in vain. 

Prison is a bad
Place anyway.
But when we,
Romanticize, 
We scratch open
The scars again.
