If pain must be the answer...

And if pain must be the answer,

This pain must indeed cure.

I find no depth in conquests;

The catastrophes win my ruthless heart!


The falling of that dream-scraper

The cracking of memory grounds

Are music of finest stature

With an interlude of mocks.


This hunger for pain is endless

The ache is what I live upon

I wait for it to consume me

When nights of memories recount.


It is an endless infatuation

An eternal dice-game with time

Every glimpse of light is a reminder 

Of the bliss that fright will bring.


And if pain will be my answer

I hope it consents to find

A home in my lowly disaster

And bring me company to rhyme!
