Healing

Internal wounds

Fill you with pain.

You try to stitch them up,

But somehow they become undone. 

You cover them with a bandage, 

But the blood only seeps through. 

You take medication to ease the pain, 

But as the numbness goes away, 

The pain returns with a vengeance. 

You soon realize, 

The wounds will be there forever.

but over time, 

They will heal.

And turn into scars. 

A memory of the past, 

But no longer causing pain.
