Sticks and stones
May break bones
But cruel words
Turn hearts to stone
You can get back up
From a push or a shove
But be crushed by the weight
Of betrayed love
Cuts and wounds
Can be seen and sown
While inner damage
Hides in the unknown
It’s the body’s nature
To attempt healing
Yet our souls are left
To carry on bleeding
Dawn & Dusk
