It can nullify all that pain seeping into your pores,
even though it brings others pain,
It can make sense all the mysterious and illnesses,
even though it isn't a lasting remedy,
It can force hate upon something you truly love,
even though you honestly care for them,
It's easier than living within the doubt,
even though it's beguiling,
It's only a step away from losing all that you hold dear,
even though you fear the outcome,
It's what they say is the best way to deal with the game,
even though they themselves were put to shame,
It's appealing, yes, but lest we forget,
how intense it is,
since you must have some great feelings,
in order to be able to bestow
such great pain.
