Have you met Emotional Pain, yet?


(A lone voice whispers)


Some say 


In the eerie twilight of a broken heart 


That wild metaphysical thing called Emotional Pain 


Created by whatever you call your Gods 


Judgment
By name 


Is but a mesmerizing shapeshifter


Who suddenly appears like
An angel-winged curator


Simply to toy with your human nature 


As it constantly fluctuates between states 


And realms of
Love and Hate 


Until you acquiesce
Bow down and worship 


Whichever one you prefer 


At the touch and kiss
Of her brother called Fate 


For so long ago 


When Pure Love was young and innocent 


With the power to stir
Emotions 


Emotional Pain was breathed into life 


For once Love ends 


You may not remember in time

Who you used to date 


Or where you were


But you'll surely swim in a new ocean 


As you are forced 

To remember her
