Tether (End Of)

I am no good with pain

I do not bear it well

I am not fond of suffering

I am absolutely no saint


My current dilemma

Is that the longer I sleep

The more painful my shoulder

When I wake


It’s like a good night out

The better the evening

The more joyfully inebriated

The fiercer the hangover


Or with matters of love

The deeper one throws oneself in

The harsher the heartache

Upon dissolution, upon closure


I know I should be grateful

I am grateful, for the good times

Yet, in the black of this night

I do not take to pain too easily
