from wretch to freedom

it’s like someone has put
salt in all of my wounds
while waiting in the darkness
till I fall asleep, so he can do so

it hurts like crazy – but
it also cleans from the inside
filling in all of the black outs I once had
with images of what had happened

I’m in a wretching kind of way
being healed, piece by piece a time
though I’m not there yet being fully recovered
I’m still doing ok, so I know that I’ll be fine
