My Pain

My pain is deep,
Threatens to overtake me,
Body & soul.
The anguish I feel
Courses through my every vein;
It is a part of who I am.
I cry out in the night,
The tears flow unabated.
My body racked with sorrow
Sadness & longing,
My mind overwhelemed
And my thoughts garbled.
I run, looking for hope renewed
And words of comfort.
My tears released,
I sleep;
Only to awaken,
Another day ahead
Filled with the pain,
My constant companion.
