In Pain

I can feel you in my arms

I hold on tighter

and take in your scent

I lay my head on your shoulder

and feel your warmth surround me

I feel your smile as you cling tighter

I wince a little in pain

"Sweetie-" I say, but you cut me off

With a deep treacherous kiss

I feel life flow out of me

This is what You do to me

I've heard the expression "Loving so much it hurts"

But this is ridiculous

it could sound like physical abuse...but usually i strive for the metaphorical senses as well
