An Open Wound

By O Persaud

an open wound

Adam had an argument with Eve one day
so she ran away for a little while
God noticed his son without a smile

WHAT BOTHERS YOU MY LITTLE CHILD
OR WOULD YOU HAVE YOUR FATHER GUESS

excuse me Lord but i must confess
this emptiness inside my chest
that fills me since
my lover left

can you explain
what i can't express

WELL

YES

IT APPEARS THAT SHE'S
A PART OF YOU

DON'T YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
THAT SCAR AS PROOF

I LEFT IT THERE
TO BE HARD ON YOU

Adam glanced down at the mark
confused
and pondered what he'd said

how could you leave
me so exposed
what were you thinking
in your head

I WAS MERELY REACHING
FOR YOUR HEART
BUT GRABBED A RIB
INSTEAD

Love is an open wound. It'll bleed out, get infected, and make you sick. However, if you know hot to treat it, you can make it better. This is a love story told in a way you've never experienced...
