Darkest light
Pouring into my soul
Numbing the pain
But leaving the tingling sensation
Of having something taken away
Bittersweet migraine
Pounding harder and harder
Cracking my skull
Searing agony
That no magic pill can save
Painfully numb
Aching and empty
My head pounds and my heart crumbles
Leaving nothing to numb this pain
That wasn't there to begin with
Author notes
So... my head is pounding and I feel empty, but at the same time there's a pain there that isn't physical... feeling will go away soon enough, but I felt like writing... I guess.

Interesting... I like how you liked physical pain of a headache with the non physical pain of...well, everything I suppose. Wonderful write Sherri. I hope your head feels better and the non-physical stuff will clear up too. ^_^ Have a wonderful day.

Good!!!
Excellent piece of poetry. I really felt the pain and I imagined my own head pounding in pain. Wonderful! It moves quickly, but not too quickly so as to feel rushed. Overall, a good poem!
