Wounded
I’ve been unsettled by the push of the tides,
Crushed by the weight of the heart,
Run over by the hurt of pain
And given my share of scars
Running down the inches I’ve hidden
And I’ve had the coldest words
Driven through the skin.
Lovers have left my sky and eyes bleeding,
And I’ve been fighting through muscles aching.
Mistakes have lingered in my corner
And I’ve been paying for every sin.
I’m cracked on the sides and down the middle,
But I will take friendship with time
And take the comfort from his medicine.
