A few tormenting words. Flashing Dagger
She pierced into his heart
When others departed
She stayed back for extended periods
When others were around
She left in a hurry
With no purpose or reason
She lingered around uselessly
She clung – strong and tight
To his arms and legs
Memories of “her” tormented him
Sometimes they “lightened” him
In exasperation, he asked “who are you”
“Pain” – she whispered
“Why are you here?”
“I am needed” – she explained
To bring back your well-wisher – Gratitude!
