Painful Bliss

you were bound to convey pleasure and pain,
she was ready to accept them as if to sustain
her heart with the prowess to endure and bear
the heart that bleeds and relentless to tear

you screamed passion for someone else's name

she chose to watch you hum a heartfelt hymn.
she blames you not since it was clear and plain
and her love is as solemn as the sound of rain

you were like a drug, a heroin; she was the user

she was drawn to cease, to let go and surrender
hence tried to withdraw, to forget, mostly grief
but her bliss is you, so she returns with relief

her love for you is like an ancient rocking chair

she moves, she cradles, yet it brings her nowhere
worst! it breaks, it collapses together with her
that may wound her soul and it will scar forever

then one night, that fateful hour, she broke down

dragged her stabbing pained self! this ruined one!
if you knew her, know she owned undying strengths 
She's a pearly white formica; hard rock, she stands

tonight, her feelings for you still pours so freely,

however, her finger touches that love with finality
she'll remember you always like her favorite summer
her suffering ends here but your memory will linger

she has loved you, it was eternal

yet she was wounded, she is a mortal
