WRAPPED
the only love without pain
is when you stub your toe
love takes away pain I've been told
but a good wrap will do
it covers the wound
until the bleeding slows
does taking away the bloody wrap
make for more or less love
make for more or less pain
and what about the scar
taking away the pain
denies the love
we need our scars
to survive
we need our pain
to love
living with the pain
is living with the love
that defines us
I don't want my love taken away
living with pain only needs to wrap the wound
holding it close
until the bleeding stops
and only the weeping remains
leaving just the tears
to wrap tight
with love
