[dreamtrance]

It burns with the fire of a thousand suns.
Searing you from top to bottom
Your skin tender in the defense of itself
You feel it inside
Feel your blood boil
Feel your lungs ache with effort
The fire raging inside.

The ache rips through you.
Pulling at tendons.
Pushing on muscles.
Squeezing your heart
Every beat becoming shallower
Quicker with more effort

The chill follows.
Starting from inside your bones
Radiating out
Your fingers go numb
Then your hands and arms
Your feet, legs
Until you can’t feel anymore
Can feel only the chill

The chill falters and is replaced by the pain
Dull constant pain
Impossible to pinpoint
Making up your conscious
Taking over your unconscious
It’s not all encompassing like the fire or the chill
It doesn’t incapacitate like the ache
It’s just there

It lasts longer
Even forever
Following you from the beginning
And after the end
Following you through eternity

The pain of love.
