First Aid

Social distancing has sure been hard,

My lonely heart can't stop bleeding.

You can cauterize my bleeding heart,

Your kindness is all its needing.

All the beauty seems gone from the world,

Ugliness has taken its place.

You can wash this dirt out of my eyes

With just the smile on your pretty face.

Lies and insults are all I hear,

Toxic talk leaves me feeling sick.

You can disinfect my poisoned ears

With sweet words from your honest lips.

I'm not asking you to save my life,

I'm just asking for a little first aid.

Talk to me, smile at me, and like anesthetic

You will take away all of my pain.
