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
