NUMBING THE PAIN

NO ONE CAN STOP THE PAIN, EVEN IF WE WANTED TO IT'LL ALWAYS BE THERE. SO WHY FIGHT IT? ACCEPT IT, EMBRACE IT,(AND AS SAD AS IT MAY BE) ENJOY IT. WHY? BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT OFF LIKE YOU DON'T CARE. PLAY IT OFF LIKE NOTHING HURTS WHEN YOUR BODY IS NUMB, WHEN REALLY YOUR AS FRAGILE AS YOUR HEART WHEN OPEN TO LOVE. BUT I'M TIRED OF ALL THE HURT AND DESPAIR. I WANT SOMETHING NEW. I WANT SOMETHING TO GO ACTUALLY RIGHT. YET THE ONLY THING THAT COMES OUT RIGHT IS THE PAIN BECAUSE THERE'S NO WRONG WAY TO ACCEPT IT. IF PAIN WAS A BOY WOULD ANYONE CARE TO TALK TO HIM? LET A LONG GET NEAR SUCH A THING OF GRIEF AND DISGRUNTLED HAPPINESS? WHAT IF THAT BOY WAS A GIRL? WOULD YOU HOLD HER COLD HANDS TO FEEL THE SAME WAY ON YOURS? WOULD YOU DARE TOUCH KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN. TOLERATING LOVE FOR THE PAIN WHEN REALLY IT GOES BOTH WAYS...TOLERATING PAIN FOR THE LOVE
