stitches

I'm in stitches,
while you drew stars around my scars.
I was bleeding inside,
but you tried putting a bandage on my wounds.
I didn't know you've been hurting too, for quite some time.
Your stitches untangled,
heart torn,
mind worn out.
Things were so hard to fathom.
It just felt like we had too much stitches,
so it's like we couldn't heal from them.
Nothing could ever heal us, right ?
No matter how we try to escape from the things that haunt us,
we still have stitches inside.
The only thing that matters is that we were never alone with our wounds.
Some people
they too,
have stitches and wounds as deep as ours.
So if you're struggling right now,
just know that you're not alone in that battle.
Strangers around us may face what we face,
encounter what we encounter,
struggle what we struggle,
and try to mend the pieces that had long been broken inside.
The stitches will eventually heal in time.
For now,
let them hurt
until you can't feel your wounds anymore.
