homecoming

and pain knocks my courtyard,
most subserviently this time
without a bang
with much fervor

numbingly,
almost tantalizing
in its incoming
and i fell multiple times
in my little home
like a bunch of nest
that splitters infinitely

pain, which is generally sweet
wretches your bones
when it gets into you
and today i let it enter

pain, which is generally sweet

oh wow. I was startled at first and then remembered that its you, expected.

Pain well penned.

Four sentences in the last stanza may be reorganized to be more effective but holistically the appeal is touching!!
I hope a twentytwo year old lass deeply realise "PAIN IS GENERALLY SWEET"
