i believe suffering serves a purpose
though i wish suffering would explain
the meaning behind its own existence
the depth and the beauty of pain
were it a simple edit of syntax
a verb or sentence exchanged
my editing ink would relax
i wouldn't alter a thing
never a word or breath unspoken
written upon a story's shame
never a noun describing the broken
matters of a brittle name
tell-tale mannerisms decide
tick-tock clocks arrange
both acquitted hearts confide
their own requirement of change
