And Pain Becomes a Place
( a Quatern )
And pain becomes a place to call your own
Where company is unapproachable.
To make it like your heart is made of stone,
Enrobed in sackcloth and invisible.
The longer Time pretends to have a say
And pain becomes a place to call your own,
You start to wonder why you even stay;
Unfortunate, your ghost is right at home.
You feel your chances for a life have flown,
You try to run but you can’t hide for long.
And pain becomes a place to call your own
Where all your worth is sold off for a song.
When death is but a number on a screen
And all along, you’re no one, home alone,
It’s day & night when hopes are never seen,
And pain becomes a place to call your own.
And pain becomes a place to call your own
Where company is unapproachable.
To make it like your heart is made of stone,
Enrobed in sackcloth and invisible.
The longer Time pretends to have a say
And pain becomes a place to call your own,
You start to wonder why you even stay;
Unfortunate, your ghost is right at home.
You feel your chances for a life have flown,
You try to run but you can’t hide for long.
And pain becomes a place to call your own
Where all your worth is sold off for a song.
When death is but a number on a screen
And all along, you’re no one, home alone,
It’s day & night when hopes are never seen,
And pain becomes a place to call your own.

This is so heartfelt and raw. I had to reread it a few times to make sure I was grasping the poem in its entirety. Nice write as always x

Thank you, sister of the Pen. And yes, it appears others understand through experience. The difference this time around is that we’re being surround by a virulent agent with an unknown sell-by date.
God help us.

Pain can come in so many different forms.. it tears at you at so many levels. It reduces your world view to the moment and isolates you from others. You remain solitary and disconnected. Very well done! T.

Dear JP,
I can only repeat all the previous comments, and they used all the good words so I can’t even sound fancy!
This piece is so touching it hurt. I am left speechless and that is not an easy accomplishment. Stunning write. Still trying to catch my breath. H🌷

"When death is but a number on a screen
And all along, you’re no one, home alone,"
These two lines bear so much weight and truth all around the world when he hear and read the stories. Those in power just talk of numbers like it's some mere stock without any sense of compassion or humanity.
Well done.
