Bark 

The pain in the heart is sometimes like a bark; soft, yet tough to crack. Come here now. Take your little webbed feet onto the hard tiles of my walkway. Don't slip, because I don't want you to fall and bruise those little luminous knees. Please come here.

Is pain really like bark? I wonder....and then can you truly describe your pain, i wonder. Oftentimes like a shooting pain of nerves, or pins felt in the pit of the tummy. Pain has many names....bark would be softening the blow. However pain is pain, and by any name will still be tough to crack- so we do meet on this :)
