She is a Wound That Will Not Heal

She is a wound that will not heal;  
The pleasant blade against whose entry I grit my teeth, wincing  
And yet I welcome the pain,  
Because the warmth it spills from my heart becomes addictive.

Pain and bliss, intertwined at the sight of her, at the mention of her name.  
At the question of what would be the more painful;  
Never feeling her embrace again,  
Or surrendering to love's bite.

She is a wound that will not heal;  
And I lie bleeding, begging all the same for that sweet blade--  
Blood, and empty tears  
Nothing gained...  
Nothing gained...
