Bleeding Heart

My healing scars still bleed a bit
With every heartbeat
Another drip
A lesser drop
A smaller stain
Slowly lessening my pain
Everyday sees healing
A little more
Another day closer
To shutting the door
To the memory
Of your touch, your scent
Everyday a smaller drip
Until the day I bleed no more
And on that day
I'll shut that door
I'll lock that lock
And lose the key
To be pained no more
By your memory
