Pain

When you stub your toe, in the middle of the night
Parched and anxious, in the absolute darkness
You equate the pain to a sudden fall
Like a thud, it hurts like a dropped rock
The tiny pinch, feels like an ant bite
The graze has the texture of a sandy beach
A pinch due to the closing door like a tearing cloth
A prick of a needle is akin to pushing a wall
The heart is better off in pain
Yet the pain I fear most is in my belly
It is an unknown, ambiguous, profound
Nothing to remedy, nothing to soothe
The pain of love is such a belly ache
Everything hurts, you just don't know what
