Pain

That can’t be explained

Or put into words


Pain

That doesn’t budge

Stays put

Still and strong


Pain

That gets in the way

Of every and anything


Pain

That's just pain

Pain

and more pain


But it still


feels new


As the layers are explored


Deepening the pain, which starts to feel like home
