Healing

The desperation of denial
The rending, tearing of your heart
And the object to be reviled
Emotions have no claim to smarts.

There is no end within your sight
There is no hope within your soul
Hold back panic with all your might
Be a mummer, play your role.

The loss of colors in your vision
The loss of music to your ears
Hearts subjected to division
Restitution that could take years.

Never deny that it happened
Hold your gamble close to your vest
Pace yourself, feet be leaden
You will heal, that I will attest.
