an open wound

By skully

Now is lacking
And later will too
If my eyes were closed
I’d believe I was dead

open,open prize open
an old wound
an open lesion
still cry at the night
when its the same
simply amazing pain
that rips like light
right through your groin,
right through your brain

And in minutes that which
should have taken years
has gone

It was always going to be the same.
