Welcomed Pain...

Nothing's left or so I think
to the pain I cling.

Pain's the only reminder
it hurts to be apart from it.

It keeps me alive and healthy
pain in healthy doses are good.

I don't feel alive any longer, no more tears
they've disappeared, no traces.

I allowed you to take my humanity
I've never felt so alive now, again, thank you.

I welcome the darkness
Shun away the light.

Knowledge acquired; numbness present
Knowing more than I should at recent.

I checkout every so often
It's refreshing in a cold way.

I very much liked this one. Your writing reminds me so much of my life. Relating to your poems is extremely refreshing. I think that when are in denial of our addiction to something so unhealthy it does become a bit of an awakening once we're aware. Anyone who is in love with dysfunctional-ism has to know in a way. Pain is an addicting thing and addiction is gratifying..until it drowns us and we don't know who we are anymore. Well written.
