Pain

Pain,

not a little pain like, "oh, I stubbed my toe",

or "damn, I broke my leg",

but real emotional pain.

The kind that claws its way through your heart until you can feel it moving through your veins.

Crawling,

clawing its way through,

until every cell in your body screams.

Then through the nerves it finds the path to your brain.

Synapses fire,

a fire filled with agony,

pain filling your mind until there is no space left.

No nerve,

no cell,

no dark corner of your soul that is not wracked by the pain.

Then it ends...

Nothing...

No pain,

no feeling at all,

no emotions,

only oblivion.

There is only darkness,

a darkness that could be felt,

if you still had any feelings at all.

But they are gone, replaced only with emptiness that can never be filled.

A darkness so deep it suffocates.

You cannot breath,

you cannot speak,

all is night.

And the soul dies...
