The Nectar of Pain

You put my worries to sleep.
You ignited the warmth of love in my heart.
You became part of me.
And I was you.
We were one.

You see, in love, you don’t get what you want.

You get what you think you get.

He never loved you, but he loved
the reflection of the man he saw in your eyes.

You put suns in his sky, but the night was his home.

Some spend a lifetime
healing,
and some spend a lifetime
wanting to heal.
