Bullet Holes
Taylor Swift said "band-aids don't fix bullet holes"
And swiftly i wanted to say, Taylor,
Do you know?
How deeply painful those cuts can be
Do you know that sometimes the pain is too much
You are left numb
Not even the strongest salt on the wound
Can feel a thing?
And maybe just covering it with a band-aid just for the sake of it is the only cure
But again, i thought how could she sing it if she didn't know it
I remember mommy's awesome touch just like it was today
Those rough days of scabs and tears
Those daring days of scratches and bruises
She always knew the right words to say
She always had a store full of therapy
I always got better, i always felt better
But waking up nowadays in the mornings full of heartbreaks
And going to sleep with dreams full of heartache
Has left me lost and torn
I just want to cover it all with band-aids or even surgical dressings
And pretend i can't feel it
And pretend i can't see it
And pretend am not it
But when the wound starts oozing beyond the coverings
Am left to suffer more recovering..
