Just Allow Me This Hour…a Deal I Would Say To My Ex; -(



Just allow me this hour… V.1
Suzy, psychiatry calls this “Sublimation”.

Just allow me this time,
Afford me this hour,
To kick and scream,
Throw a tantrum
Tamped down, in the back room.

To summon up my demons
Then, like a boy
Holding his stomach,
After throwing it all up
Looks up, again, and smiles.

Only with words, verse
I exorcise, expunge
These ills from my soul.
Then, looking up as that boy,
All smiles,

I would be yours, for chores, through the rest of the day…
