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....
A reminder of grace.
