Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

Pain is such a pesky stain.

A night of vulnerability

Which one couldn't refrain,

Causes a slip of the tongue,

And it hurt more because you're young.

Like a horrific hurricane,

Only pieces remain,

Which will never go back together the same.
