A Wound that May Never Heal

(I’m in a poetic mood for this week. Next week might start promoting War of Nytefall: Ravenous, so I’ll be rather whimsical for a bit. Enjoy. I think. Shedding some heavy emotions here too.)

Time has passed
And the unseen wound remains
Not a gaping gash
Or a piercing hole
The edges have tried to meet
But never fully closing
*
Opinions always voiced
From those that may not know
Their pain is not my own
The taste is different
Cures are not universal
Some tear the scab anew
*
People turn away
Impatient and frustrated
Nobody likes pain
That sits invisible
Upon the soul of another
They run from infection
*
Healing continues on
A day is good
Filled with hope and light
Then darkness comes
Birthed by one stumble
And the wound bleeds
