    Poem Commentary

    First piece I've written in awhile......let me know what you think

    The Pain of Truth

    The pain of Truth

     

    It started as a small pin prick,

    Nothing more,

    This pain of mine,

     

    Spreading  slowly,

    Outward from my heart,

    Until it seems to engulf all of me,

     

    Every fibre of my being,

    Cries out,

    All comes spilling out,

     

    Words I thought never to be spoken,

    Yet you laid them before me,

    Naked truth,


    Too much,

    Far too soon,

    My heart would be grey,

     

    If there was any of it left,

    Soul shattered,

    Is there anything left?

     

    I know not,

    Only fragments of what was,

    Moments of joy lost in sea of pain,

     

    My eyes meet yours,

    The gates’ break open

    Free flowing tears,

     

    Like cleansing spring shower,

    Small sound escapes my lips,

    Turns into simply the sound of ultimate suffering,

     

    Pain threatens to consume completely,

    Fiery depths of hell,

    Can’t come close to this torture,

     

    Just seems all hope is lost,

    Your hands like a guiding light,

    Wrap around me,

     

    Holding me close,

    Nothing can kill this pain,

    But at least now it is a burden I can carry.

    Excellent description, and a good balance of similes and metaphors. I also enjoyed the level of relatability you had with the reader. As a reader, you give me the same emotion the poem expresses! Overall, a fantastic job.

    Pain is pain, we can all relate to this ... the easing is in the sharing of the moment. Solid write, thanks for sharing that, I been there and done that to, be well k

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
