A Righter's Lament

What warped things do I square and true?
Whose heart do I make whole?
What does the mending cost me
if I steal the stuff of my own soul
to patch the holes in yours?

Who will heal the healer?
Surely not the heel.

No: you will let me bleed to death,
sadly shake your head and say
"If not for her sad Swiss cheese soul
her life would not have ebbed away..."
