AN OPEN WOUND






AN OPEN WOUND




When we are hurting
For any reason at all,
It`s only human nature
To find why we had this fall.



We keep reliving it
`til it drives us insane,
It doesn`t bring closure
It just prolongs the pain.



A simple grazed knee
Or maybe a wounded heart,
Still, the wound is open
And it can really smart.



Stop touching the wound
Otherwise it will never heal,
You`ll just keep opening it up
And pain is all you will feel.
