Stitches
Stitches
A wound, deep and wide
Gaping, Ragged, Bleeding
Cover with the cloth of
False Smiles
Cover with the cobweb gauze of
Empty Sympathy
Clamp it shut with fingers of
Chemical Laughter
Hold it together with shaky hands of
Liquid pain relief
A wound, deep and wide
Remains.
A wound,deep and wide
Gaping, Ragged, Bleeding
Clean with Love
Stitch together with Truth
Soothe with the
Balm of Gilead
Anoint with Oil
Healed reminder of grace
