Love & Pain

Pain that shakes you to your very core
Love then infiltrates your gates
Settles slowly until you are ready to accept
A gift, given of free will
Finds a way to mend a heart that swore
Never to love again
Mirrors of each other, love & pain
Side by side they are sometimes indistinguishable
Until one day you realize that your swagger has returned
The pain, no longer hurts.
