"O, Pain How Are You"(poem)

 

Back then an unexpected thing happened,

But not surprising.

Like a flashflood going through your doors

Without even a hint of a warning.

Like your old man who just came home

After years of extinction handling you a gift,

And a hug.

 

O, pain, how are you? I’m fine how about you?

I’m longing for you.

Can I be a physician now? Cuz I don’t feel you.

Like a thousand needles of anesthesia piercing to

My body, head to toe, from my teeth to my eyelashes.

 

O, pain where are you? I’m here, how about you?

I feel like I don’t need you but you always have a

special place in my heart, longing for that missing piece

To be placed in me to make me whole.

Yet, it makes me empty.

 

O, pain, now I know. That your season is gonna

Start tomorrow. O, pain. Why are you.
