Every pain is new


I thought I knew pain -

The pain of unrealized dreams,

of crushed hope,

of heartbreak.


But you,

in your unconditional love, 

Soaked me in this bitter-sweet pain

of having you, but not quite.


Your vast love

is my country,

And your sunshine, your breeze,

your rain - all are mine to live.


The pain is of knowing

That I can lie in your grass for now,

Staring at your beautiful star-lit sky,

But I can't make it my home.
