The Missing Five

The things we see

But do not say

Just keep them in our mind

And bury deep

Beneath the earth

For therapists to find

They'll dig with shovels

Deep at first

Carve away with steel

Then finer tools

Will scrape and brush

'Til curvatures reveal

A little blemish

Around the dege

But otherwise intact

And place upon 

A surgeon's pan

With measurements exact

They'll see inside

Our hidden hearts

The evil we control

But duty bound

By sacred oath 

To never tell a soul

She knows the farm

The town is small

She knows the Banyan tree

Where I did hang

The ones I love

And bury them beneath

Til one by one

the ones I love 

Became the missing five

And all the town

Did search in hopes

Of finding them alive

The doctor knows

And so do I

Their hopes will dash to none

They'll find the shallow

Grave I dug

And discover what I've done

Word will spread

Around the town

They've found the missing five

Buried grizzly

Beneath the tree

And one was still alive

With tongue removed 

And driven mad

By everything she's seen

She'll die before

She speaks a word

Implicating me

The doctor's eyes

Still searching mine

Cursing what she found

And knowledge grim

of what I did

She dare not speak a sound

But if her thoughts 

Should try to break

Her covenant with me

I'll show her all

I've buried deep

Beneath the Banyan tree

These things we see

And do not say

Just keep them in our mind

And bury deep

Beneath the earth

For therapists to find
