Deep Wounds

You think you can't hurt any more,

but then it falls 

over you like a wave.

 

You are heaving harder 

than you ever have before,

screaming into the sky.

 

Rejection creates deep wounds

and they are layered,

not replaced. 

 

So every new lesion

comes with the dozens prior

and makes it that much worse.
