The last weeks have been a nightmare of pain.

The pain has overcome the tired weariness.

It was not where it hurt but hurting everywhere.

Minutes become hours and hours become days.

I must do anything to get my mind off the pain.

Cheesy old movies and listening to audio books.

They keep part of me from feeling the pain.

I cannot do, I cannot think and I am not here.

The pain will slake soon and I will get rest.

But how long till it comes and strikes again?

I can do nothing but wait to feel it coming on.

Like a large wave it will come smashing in.

But the worst is the undertow ripping me.

Ripping all from me and leaves me – not.
