You can’t touch it
Like the gummy pink scar
You nervously run your fingers over.
You can’t heal it
With a kiss from mom
Or a few stitches at the hospital.
You can’t ignore it
Like a tumor
Slowly infesting your body.
You can only try to hide it
Like a hickey
From a crummy one-night stand.
And it never goes away -
It never goes away -
It never goes away -
It will never go away.

You can only try to hide it

From a crummy one-night stand.
And it never goes away -
It never goes away -
It never goes away -
It will never go away.
I haven't posted on here in about five years, but need a writing outlet. Happy to be back :)
