This is what I sought all my life. This is what I chased across the world.
This is what brought me true happiness, true purpose.
Now, after showing me what it can do, I’m once again left in the abyss of loneliness.
Darkness surrounds me, whispering sweet sounding promises of death.
Shadows swirls arounds me, wrapping me a cloak of guilt.
Tears run freely down my chin, reminding me of what I had, of what I lost.
This is what people strive for, fight for.
This is what people hold in their highest regard.
Pain and delight in one, all that matters is what way it subverts.
Happiness and sorrow in one, Life and death compound.
Two paths in one, I always chose wrong.
My soul was filled with joy, happiness coursing freely through my body, lighting a torch of love in my dark soul. Sparks of passion flickered throughout my soul, banishing the cold abyss that had always been me. Then, The joy was exctracted in a flashing, blinding instant, leaving only a massive trail of pain behind.
The icy waters of hate rushed down over my new-lighted torch, putting it out, forever leaving it wet.
The passion that coursed in my soul, banished by the merciless malice of darkness.
This, is what people strive for.
When I sit here, accompanied only by darkness and shadow, I ask myself, why do people seek pain?
Why do people seek what can only hurt in the end?
Why, do people seek love?

WoW Leera that's beautiful!!!Did you compose it??

As for the answer you're seeking for...:love hurts but we seek it as the newborn babies need to breath,even though these first gulps of air make their lungs hurt and scream. We are the babies and love is the air,our only surviving chance.And who wouldn't tolerate pain,if it where for his life?:nod:
