Height of OCD:

Cleaning up after cleaners

When dreams shatter do we hear the sound

like when a pane of glass breaks

or does it merely hurt 

like when the pane rips through your skin

When plans fail do we hear our heart cry

like when a dear one hurts us and our tears drip

or does the heart silently whimper

like an abused child in the corner of a room

When life falls like a bird with slashed wings

Do we hear the violent fluttering 

or just a drift landing 

on soft earth waiting with arms outstretched
