Indiana, & NO there is NOT more than corn in Indiana, oughta go back to texas!

My shrink calls it therapy
sitting in his stark
depressing den
bleeding into his golden goblet
for his tasting
like a fine wine he lifts to his lips
analizing, examining, savoring.....

brutal honesty he calls it
the bleeding ritual of healing

Therapy I call it
sitting on my dark porch railing
in the sweet dead of night
chain smoking your brand
listening the to rustle
of withered leaves
blowing nowhere
in the November wind,
welcoming the boney
carressing fingers of numbness
as they invaid my soul
knowing that when they reach their goal
I will have gleefully deprived them
of sucking the warmth from me

Therapy I call it
snuggling your pillow
laced with your cologne
to my chest
because it was the one thing
you didn't think
to hurriedly pack away in the U-Haul you ran off in

Brutal honesty.......
My shrink wears your cologne
so twice a week I bleed for him

I allow him to taste me
As I wish you still did.....

I enjoyed this therapy session. For that's what Passions sometimes is for me....the greatest therapy for me is to read and write.
PS, I'd look for a different scent of Therapist. No more free drinks.
