The Pleasure of Pain

Have you ever been
in such dire need
of some physical contact,

for someone just to
take you
in there arms
and hold you,

that the
pain
of wanting, needing,
is so great
that you would
subject yourself to harm

just to take that need away

because, you would still
feel

it may be the polar opposite
of what you desire
but there is such a fine line
between
pleasure and
pain

and better to feel that
than...



nothing.
