The cold October rain
reminds me of your pain
and all that you endured while slowly dying
and if I claim to feel
resolved of that ordeal
one look into my eyes reveals I’m lying
refurbishing my cell
I contemplate your hell
as vibrant paint replaces dingy languor
and thankfully I see
your mended spirit free
that keepsake image safe upon its hanger.

I understand this poem from having had a similar personal experience. It was inded 'hell' and is still 'hell' to remember! But yes, now they are free...and whole again, and I'd like to think laughing and smiling too.
