Pain

We both knew it would hurt, but
Pain is just a concept, until you feel it.

As we co-joined in careless lust,
Pain came swiftly and hit hard,
Each thrust excruciating and exquisite,
Like claws tearing at our genitalia,
But we would not be denied, so
Our eyes locked together in the moment,
The excitement of leaving reason,
To its own pathetic devices,
And we gave credence to our pain,
We allowed it to have full rein,
As your fingernails dug into my flesh,
And I grasped and pulled at your hair.
