The Act of Crying
A good long cry is cathartic in the deepest of griefs,
so they say.
So why is it when I cry, I only feel worse afterwards?
Perhaps this grief etches the center of my heart,
like a signature on a tree's bark
that fades with time but never disappears
or a wound that festers forever
still trying to push out its cause
years after it has been sustained
(Perhaps I am picking at it?)
