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.
