[title] => My pain is mine. This I vow...

[hometext] => This is my pain. Let me deal with it. I will protect you This I vow... I dont want to involve you in the pain.... OMG IT's Killing Me!
[bodytext] => --------___________------------ Agony is my stock in trade… In Texas, I could kill you if you tried to take it from me. I could chop off your hands across an ocean or the equator. The French used the guillotine long time ago. Taking my pain could get you crucified even further back. I might do worse if I catch you. I might dip you in it, involve you. Then it would be your pain, too. No, it's best that you leave my pain untouched. After all, I know best how to handle it. I'm sick. My tongue stings with hated words for hated feelings. Trapped, Behind a broken record and sputtering, And of my own making. I cannot bear it any longer. I will not stand idly by, Watching her be torn apart Between her insides and the outside world. Am I weak? Am I wrong? Who am I, To presume to stand up for who I believe in? Condemned to stare, If at only a reflection, Is it not still pain? Oh, brutal dagger, End this. End this now. Enjoy my eternal thanks While I can still give it. How many chances must I give myself? When she, who was the only one there for me, Is now writhing in pain? How can I be asked to stand down in my concern for her? WHY?!? clutch me closer, let me lay waste to all who oppose you. this I vow..
