Band-Aid
Like a Band-Aid
on a gushing WOUND
She will never be enough
to hold it all together…
Merely a temporary FIX
that lead to a long term problem…
She seeped skin at the seams and
crusted over… You
infused with her inevitable infection… RAW
and bread unending pain unknowingly…
Now both ends hold on for dear LIFE
pulling at the weakened scab
Smothering it with generic “HOME” remedies
but nothing can prevent the impending deterioration…
So, day by day the superficial grime GROWS
and the unnatural wear shows… Your
Internal defenses begin peeling away Her
unyielding grip…While
External elements re-actively reinforce
this permanent SEPARATION.
