Pleasure & Pain

From the Movie ATL


pleasure turns to the pain,
lessons learned from the strain,
questions burned in my brain..
about whether love is humane
in its touch....
These thoughts are like salmon swimming upstream
in the tears of your deceit.
Fighting the current hurt that kills more than is created by the chaos
of our intertwined emotions.
Chaotic because the anchor of Erros’ arrow has been plucked
from the vessel of my undying infatuation
separation not as simple as the distance between us.
My mind no longer possessed by demons
that have been the overseers of my enslavement to your lies
the seeds of these lies rooted so deeply
they have cracked the foundation of what we once shared.
Allowing the faith in us, i had , sealed inside
to gush out like a river.
Ripping the image of our future together from my thoughts,
as violently and as brutally as if it were a child
being taken from its mothers arms.
I'm left surrounded in darkness,
but I refuse to be swallowed by it.
My loneliness like the night air
invisible to the eye,
obvious to the touch,
it is cold uncomfortableness,
yet if i could do it all over again.......
I'd do it in the same skin I'm in.



To lay down and let love die
Just stay down and let love lie?
No, No..not I
I'd stay around and let love fly
even though I have seen its darkest form
deceit.....
nothing else could taste this warm
or feel this sweet…
