Love has an element of envy;
It cannot decipher
What is supposed, as a passion
Between thumb and finger.
It has no sense but itself,
An emotive rush thereof
Its meaning, revealed to souls
Who deny belief of love.

Inspired by the following poem by Emily Dickinson.
PAIN has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.
It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.
