Falling For My Therapist

By Candlewitch on 

In this place of dank, dark cold
brought on by despondency,
misery of matters murky and old.

History of abuses buried deep,
with gentle fingers, he guides...
dimming lights, bidding me sleep.

Hearing his soft mellow tones,
I feel my consciousnesses drift
to a time of pubescent woes and moans.

His voice is the anchor tethering me
to past present and future,
where I find answers to be.

He hears me when I'm speaking
Without judgement he is clear
almost magick, knowing what I am seeking.

How could I not feel such sheer enchantment
for this strong guide of lost souls ,
this wielder of enhancements?
