I've known "Desolation" before;

     she was a difficult taskmistress.


          She was cold and unforgiving;

               ruthless, beyond imagination.


                      She left me nothing when she went,

                            not even the clothes on my back.


                                  She thought she had the best of me;

                                        that I wouldn't survive.

       

                                             She thought the loneliness

                                                 would be too much;

                                                     that the waves of solitude

                                                          might sweep me down.


                                                                She was mistaken.


                                                        We struggled till the end,

                                                  "Desolation" and I;

                                            she pushing,

                                       and I trying merely

                                   to hold my own.

 

                            But I knew, from past experience,

                                 the secret to surviving the battle

                                       she fought so desperately to win.


                                               That nothing can be too much;

                                                     no strength much stronger than my own;

                                                          no hurt that leaves too deep a scar,

                                                                as long as the angels whisper:

                                                                       "pain…..

                                                                               is merely temporary."
