THERAPY!

By Zhee

You sit scraping away
At years of gathered hurt,
Releasing the pestilent pain
From beneath the buried dirt.

Cradling the myriad pieces
Of your disintegrating soul,
Shackled hands reach out –
Pleading to make you whole

Broken will lurks within
Shadows of a defeated gaze,
As plague ridden tears set
The putrid wound ablaze.

And I watch your fall
Allured and bound awhile,
Blinded by the shards
Of your fractured smile.
