Bandaid
His face is pressed into my chest
"You need to get a bandaid"
I say. He has a cut on his finger.
"This is a bandaid
For a different wound"
He breathes warmly

bandaid
all those wounds you talked about
i will sit outside on the concrete floor
and patch each one up
till you are clean and theres no more
i can say its love now,
it always was
but it was also just
what should've been done
each time you hurt yourself
when i wasnt around

Emotional Bandaid
Look at what you do
How effortlessly you bring me to tears
With nothing more than a memory
How quickly the slightest reminder of you
Melts my happiness down to nothing
I get so confused about you
Because you were the best and worst impact on my life

And I remember how often
