You've given new meaning even to pain: <br />Pain now comes in colors and hues <br />And the only pain now worth disdain <br />Is the pain didn't come from you... <br /> <br />Pain that has another source <br />Than you; your words and deeds <br />Is the minor pain than yours, of course <br />For upon all others, your pain feeds... <br /> <br />If given a choice of which to choose <br />The choice would be quite clear: <br />The best pain will craft the deeper bruise- <br />And that must needs be yours dear...<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ve-given-new-meaning-even-to-pain/
