Soul Wounds

soul wounds 
scars fails to form
pain seems to be the norm
storm after storm 
happiness in the eyes
when hope shies from its weak tries 
they said the sun never lies 
.. and how many times it shun just for fun 
hurt fills the blood
vintage wine the more the time, like old open wounds from time to time it erupts and flood 
what's done is done 
you get used to serving the same piece of your flesh well done
deeper said the wound to the dagger
... and the word i love you sounds madder 
hope rise and sets 
this is as merciful as it gets 
c'est la vie
what will be... will be
sane as with the pain
pain as sadness could behave a little insane 
make it rain
curtain the name drop the blame hide the gut shame 
conceal the feel
today's real is tomorrow's surreal
feeling the stab
is the best rehab
smile to the mirror
it's been a while
cryptic smile 

tamer ?

Well, this poem is really depressing. If this is your reality, I encourage you to look in the mirror and tell yourself, "I am great, and I deserve love." If you are talking about someone that is not you, then take that hurting person out for pizza or shopping, or to the batting cages. Anyways good poem, that yes I still call depressing.
