The Pain That Doesn’t Heal

I’m sitting here in the night
it is quiet except
for Karen‘s occasional snoring
and the ringing in my left ear
I’m waiting for a new idea

~

I listen to her breathe
She has been my strength
when I couldn’t find mine
because I have been waiting
Hoping that someone would save me
from the pain that doesn’t heal

~

Some pain doesn’t heal
Some because it is chronic
mentally or medically
and some because it even cut the soul
So even if it kind of gets better it always festers

~

But I like the quiet
The dreams haven’t come yet
Maybe they will foresee a beautiful future 
instead of being a traumatic nightmare
where Karen wakes me up
or worse, my face explodes and I wake myself up
and writhe in the bloodless nerve pain

~

Some pain doesn’t heal
in fact, you know it will be there
Even if it isn’t there now
It will find you
and being brave is not a choice it is a lifestyle
