Wounds

I just can't stop

Stop this pain I fell inside

Inside of my heart

It feels like

A thousand swords

Piersing through it

Now my wounds may never heal

These wounds of mine

Are wounds of love

Love that was never returned

The same way as it was given

But now that the wounds are here

Here to stay but slowly heal

As they start to heal

They become scars

Scars of my pain and suffering

Scars that can be open again and again

by unreturned love and affection
