Wounds

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

I burned my skin 

and over time 

it has healed.

 

I wish my heart 

could mend itself 

the same way.

 

It still has scabs

and scars throughout,

evidence of hurt.

 

The wounds never go away;

they linger to 

remind me of the pain.

 

Even though

I have tried 

to forget it.
