Stitches and Bandages by Christopher ShinMy heart has very
little that holds
it together in
my chest.
Stitches and bandages
seem to barely keep
the pieces that
I have done.
I loved you with
all the summer leaves,
but you loved the
world more then
I could give.
Each day and each
night I can only
guess why others
like you who
share the same brown
eyes barely covered,
but all the time there.
They protrude and
cover their hearts
but all I can do
is think about
how to guard
the naked wound.
Is it fair that
I deny others,
but the spark
you gave life to
me isn't in their
smile.
All that I have is
a fleeting memory
of stitches and bandages
that can not and
will not heal. 07/16/2007 Posted on 07/17/2007 Copyright © 2024 Christopher Shin
