Codependent Reconstruction (Secrecy)

Secret glistening in my deepest soul
Bauble on an eerie sounding chime
Hidden and yet not hidden
If anyone cared to look within...
The strong are never allowed to cry
To feel the aching wound inside
Beautifully tragic little agonies
If you saw the truth, you'd see
Little white moths devour heart-flesh
Soul is rife with episodes of decay
Maybe this will stay your touch
Perhaps you'll shirk this one away

Your gaze slides down through this
Cleverly, carefully constructed facade
Until it sweeps the ugliest visions-
Somehow your lips still smile
At last the touch of something rare
Hands/blades shave out the curse
Surgically removed from the ache am I
Sweetly intoxicated beyond remorse
Reanimated, real again, whole again
I shall not regret this intrusion

Secret cavern within your soul
I've crawled inside and made it home
Sweeping out cobwebs with words
Touching on things obscured
Behind your eyes I find a truth
Unknown I think, to even you
I am freed in this joining of minds
Dependent on another soul...
So must I be to find peace?
And so it is that I am reborn
Stronger than ever before

Deep words which have had actually a lighter meaning....try to use that sometimes...

Talk about resolute... At first, I could only get it based on the title. I had no idea what you were talking about... I don't know why you couldn't like this one... It's alive with the will to grow, and keep growing... It is...in short...inspirational, Ms. I especially liked the first stanza...more precisely, the very first two lines... I can't say exactly how I felt... Maybe...like I gave a gift to somebody who didn't want it (and only because I was their secret-santa)... LOL. You are sharp as ever, Ms Constance. Keep up the spell-binding work.
