Wounds

Eileen Troemel

The knife cuts deep – rending skin and tissue
Blood squirts out covering the body
Time they say heals all wounds
But does it?

Day after day the tissue melds back together
Healing till there is naught but a slight
Scar left as a reminder
A month and a jagged pink line is the only
Reminder of the great pain
A year and you barely know how it happened
But what if that knife tears into
Your soul, wrenching a piece of it right
Away from you?

Do the edges really meld back together
A voice on a phone tells you he’s gone
The pain is intense, sharp and mind numbing
You don’t think the tears will ever dry up
They do – at least on the outside
You cope, you go on
What choice do you have?

Each day, month, year passes and you think
I’ve got over it or I’ve handled it
But you know you lie
The memories flood you of his laugh
His smile, his temper, his love
And the tears come again, the pain
The loss are as horrible as they were the day it happened
The day the damn phone rang and broke my heart.
