How long are wounds supposed to bleed?
How long till they scab over and mend?
I'm tired of almost being whole and healed
Just for my wounds to open again.
I'd rather have a nasty scar
than this crushing pain in my chest,
Relentlessly assaulting my bed.
Let me sleep, let me rest, let me heal
Before I decide to let my fear win
And my obsession to feast
On what is left of my mind.
I can deal with the hurt,
I've gotten used to it by now.
But the mere idea of holding
This wound deep inside,
Instead of letting it go
As I know damn well I should,
Really keeps me up at night.
