Clarity comes naturally when you follow
Deliver the lost and give hope to the hollow
Livid with elation, no more room for sorrow
There is no certainty for tomorrow

Break away from the bonds that hold us down
Rise from these ashes, you are called to action
Flood of transgression, yet we will not drown
Prepare your hearts and soul for the coming extraction

A New Wisdom

It has happened, the thing I most feared.
     
We sit in your office, dark and cozy. A veritable womb.

I love you, I scream in my mind. Please, I love you.

I want to walk over to you, settle your arms around me.

Never move again.

I tell you everything. I cannot tell you this.

We talk of my daughter. A new wisdom has settled within my bones. I now know why people have children. To have another person who will walk away from you.

You are the only one I can safely talk to. The only one who will not judge nor become angered at my revelations.

In truth, you are the only person I can talk to at all.

I know what to do. It becomes imperatively clear. Haunting in its sad simplicity, the way it settles over me like a sheet.

I study your haunting face. My mind a pencil, trying to etch every detail into memory.

I once read about transference. Thought such a thing could never happen to me.

My throat tightens. Daddy is leaving again as I stare at your hands. I am moaning your name inside me, hoping you will listen.

I want your face in my hands as I kiss you.

To impale myself upon you, you locked inside me forever.

You glance at the clock. We stand and face each other.

”Next session in a week?”

“Yes, doctor.”
