Nico misses Bianca

He misses being with her,

Her helping him get ready for school,

Acting as the mother he had lost

He misses her smile,

Caring heart

And her presence

He just wanted to feel loved in this world

Or the next

But he never believed he deserved it

After all, he had killed people

They were enemies

His thoughts said

But it didn't matter

The knowledge of bringing death upon another

That wasn't something one got over easily

But he's trying

He works with the others,

He was reluctant to except help at first

But he realized he was slowly wasting away,

Sinking deep into the shadows

And he agreed to get help

His therapist pissed him off at first

With all the

"How did that make you feel?"

"Now why did you do that?"

But he came around

Now he sits on the couch

Once a week, as instructed

And he talks

Talks of all he has come from

All he has done

Sometimes it hurts

Sometimes he spends entire sessions crying

Sometimes he can't handle it all

But he's getting there

He's trying

As time moves on

He will too

And maybe one day,

He'll be whole again
