When pain is returned with pain 
It, somehow, feels worth it 
An admission of hurt reciprocated 
feels like the most beautiful thing in the world 
The way your brain lights up at every sting 
Every agonising repartee 
The dying butterflies that have some flutter left 
prepares you for a slow funeral… 
Is there a more intense shared human experience? 
A more satisfying closure? 
And after the pain has dissolved 
It metamorphoses into a precious memento of life 

There is so much romance 
in a romance that couldn’t fulfil its destiny 

When pain is returned with indifference 
And silence and emptiness 
That you allowed yourself to grieve 
a person admittedly cold 
It feels like it was all for nothing 
It led to no lessons, no creativity, 
No greater understanding of life 
How very futile 
This blackhole marking a time 
What an unfair exchange! 
Like this verse that will never be acknowledged.
