you snort and a braggart

i've never lived with pain
all the days of my life
because when pain was
coming i w'ld know that
here comes pain,
and i w'ld avoid it straight away

but today i'm a fool again,
i thought pain is just a cold, rough fool;
piercing relentlessly and selfishly into one's flesh,
unbeknown, sometimes it is as beautiful
and as adorable as the woman you love,
and give utmost care and attention -
even in the face of dejection

only for that pain in such beauty,
to spit at you, on you
and tell you, your time has
expired - you little, old fool -
you snort and a braggart!
