Petals In The Grass

Defense Wounds

The assaults were vicious
Carved up nicely
Sliced to the bone
Still I bleed
From my defense wounds

I did fend off my attackers
But damage was done
Serverly injured
Constantly I bleed
From my defense wounds

Some offenders I knew
Others were strangers
Most never paid a price
Always I bleed
From my defense wounds

Don't call for help
No bandage will cover
Peroxide is useless
Endlessly I bleed
From my defense wounds

Stitches would be fruitless
Take your needle and thread
And go
Alone I will bleed
From my defense wounds
