You are breathing
In my flowing bloodstream
On thickening fluid
Of my living body

Together with my heart
being connected
From woven veins
And branched arteries

When I protect you again
from a cut
Not letting it bleed
But thinking I need it too
For you to suffer and realize
how you are washed away
When I cleanse you
With alcohol;

And not by water.

But you seem to still
Hurting me
When I take a bath
Pouring a pail of water

To my whole body.

That's why like a fluid flow
Forced out from my skin;

I know
Only time will do
For you to harden
And become -

A scar.
