It's amazing how wounds heal
And scars fade away
How the body repairs
And replenishes itself.
With time and care
Broken bones and bloody cuts
Gradually exit our bodies
Until our minds can't remember them
And our eyes overlook
Where they used to be.
The wounds on our bodies will fade
But amazing is how not
The hurt in our hearts
Will ever exit our bodies.
A broken bone will hurt for weeks
And a gashing cut will bleed for days
But with time and care
It's like it never happened
But a heart never truly heals
Because the scar is in the mind
They say time heals all wounds
And how true it is
Until when time is the wound
Each tick tock is like a cut
A punch, a whip, a slap
Every moment without her
Brings a fresh memory
Each season is a new teardrop
Grief is a timeless wound you live with
You just accept to live with the scar
