Pain Can Come Up Raging - And Turn To Love In The Sunset
I'm obsessive about pretty much everything.  But I don't have a very long attention span.  I'm amazed that I've been writing as much as I have.  I'll probably become obsessed with new things before long.  Anyway --  In my writing I don't think I necessarily go where the pain is, I would say I go where the emotion is.  Pain, in the emotional sense, is a very strong emotion, so I'm sure I have been there in my writing often, but the emotion of pain itself evolves in my memory.  What was pain in the past is now remembered as any number of things.  Probably like the physical sense of pain in child-birth, ( I've only experienced it vicariously, but it seemed very real at the time),  transforms itself into that overpowering sense of love.  I find writing can be cathartic, writing previous pain into better, and hopefully more productive emotions.  I don't need no shrink!!! 

Book Finished:  The Girl On The Train  by  Paula Hawkins

Can someone wax poetic -
Without eventually waning poetic?
I don't think so.
But this may be a matter of opinion.
I have read some very good poems -
About beautiful sunsets.
