David DeSantis - Surprise

This pain,
so acute in its objection
that I should ever try to gain relief.

Yesterday,
dragged by my family
to a place I used to frequent.
a restaraunt,
where I met her
7 years ago.

On and off,
a struggle of love,
many years and much confusion.

Divided by college,
united by longing,
destroyed and re-cut
mended
and torn again.

Yesterday,
they dragged me there.

I had been hurting all day,
as if some days are meant for that.
Saddened by a weird feeling
that only sunday can give.

They dragged me,
against my objections,
objections that the senses
will bring.

I walked in,
what were the chances?
corner booth,
blonde hair...

Her,
and another man.


Oh pain,
you are so acute in your objections.
