The scare is there on your chest, I see, Where a sword once pierced your heart. This wound that never really healed, And left you in the dark. The skin closed over it, blocking out The light, air and water Needed to flush it clean. It has to heal from the inside out, Not the outside in! The pus must all come out. The wound has become septic, And the pain will never go away I fear, but instead, Will linger on, Killing you silently, Bit by bit, thought by thought! Open your wounds to me, And let me wash them clean! Don't hide them in the dark. Expose them to the light and air, And let the shame and poison out! Opening your wounds again, To a loving mind like mine, Will cure, However crazy That may sound To you, Your sick and broken Heart.

The Wounds That Never Heal
The scare is there on your chest, I see, Where a sword once pierced your heart. This wound that never really healed, And left you in the dark. The skin closed over it, blocking out The light, air and water Needed to flush it clean. It has to heal from the inside out, Not the outside in! The pus must all come out. The wound has become septic, And the pain will never go away I fear, but instead, Will linger on, Killing you silently, Bit by bit, thought by thought! Open your wounds to me, And let me wash them clean! Don't hide them in the dark. Expose them to the light and air, And let the shame and poison out! Opening your wounds again, To a loving mind like mine, Will cure, However crazy That may sound To you, Your sick and broken Heart.
