Perpetually now
This Pain -
It wipes out my past, my future
All but the searing now.
I close my eyes against the ruthless sun
But that Beast inside my head
He does not relent
What is this Pain?
It burns across my temple
It sears behind my eyes
Boring into my skull
Throbbing as I stand up
Nauseated
I bite my tongue as the bile rises in my throat
(Not again)
But never
I never vomit
Maybe if I did
(Just once)
The Migraine would quit.
Every morning, before my first thought is formed
It is there
The Pain
The Migraine
That dreaded Beast
Before thought
Before consciousness, is the Beast, the Pain
And I lay there, eyes closed
Defeated
What would it be like to wake up
Without
The ropes of this Pain?
I'm bound to this perpetual now,
This twilight of no past and no future
Living hyper-aware of the present
The Pain
Yet
I store away
In the dusty corner of my soul
A small glimmer of hope for that day
That I will be free of
This dreaded Beast, and can
Watch the sunset.
Aww Hun you made me cry! I feel your pain right along with you! Yet as always there is a glimmer of hope in the end. beautiful and touching
Great poem hun!

Aww, thanks, Tawsha! Writing it out like this definitely helps with the depression, and with coping with the pain. I sent it to DBF and I think it helps him to understand too.
Hopefully we'll both get through this rough patch soon.
