Shallow Wounds
A single cut from my bony wrist--
up towards my darkened elbow
It's amazing how blood slowly seeps through--
staining its path a rich crimson hue
A gentle throb before a numbing ache--
much like before, it's always the same
Shallow wounds are, dare I say--
nothing more than teasing temptresses of our world today
Blood seeps through, staining its path--
much like our influence--as we ignore nature's wrath
It's amazing how I still manage to contemplate--
while ignoring how the cut has become increasingly irate
Shallow wounds
Shallow wounds
Shallow wounds.
I really don't understand the sight--
It just isn't for me--try as I might
Then again, this isn't something I necessarily hate--
but it surely isn't something I'll try again after this day
Shallow wounds
Shallow wounds
Shallow wounds.
Care to give it a try?
It might not have done it for me--
but I know it's sure to satisfy.
inner battle scars
