Early in the morning
as I toss and turn
I contemplate writing an essay on pain
my shoulders hurt
my back
was I clenching my jaw?
The dentist is sure I grind my teeth
he asks frequently
I don't want to take another round of medicine,
I take a hot bath instead
maybe the 20 min in the bathtub, in the dark
will help
Pain
Ol' buddy ol' pal
the reward for the long walks with my dog
if I pay now will I pay less later in life?
My heart betrays me
my dreams remind me
of my losses
why does allowing yourself to love, exact such a steep price?
Love seems to be part ecstasy
part pain
