Nexus (poem)

There is no word to describe

That which for you I feel

It hurts

It hurts with a pain

Beyond unreal

A pain I would not trade

For relief

Of any kind

Temporary and ephemeral

Or everlasting and perpetual

I have no choice

No option

But to hang here

Suspended

In time and space

And endure this sweet pain

Embracing its gifts

With all my heart

With all my soul

With all my mind

With all my strength

With all my body

With all that I am
