We can’t escape it,
Pain,
Lest it explode inside our hearts,
Like a thousand tiny bombs,
Careening shrapnel into places
Which can barely be retrieved
Agitating,
Irritating,
Causing undue suffering
From choices,
Results of decisions made in vain,
In desperation,
From an earlier time
When we didn’t know,
We couldn’t see,
We could only hold on,
But now,
Now we know the sweet salve of release
Can soothe the exploded pieces of heart matter
And restore them to their proper places,
No more hurting
No more exploding,
Like a movie playing backwards
Until all is undone
