band-aids

written due to the "title challenge" given to me by jake!(:

Open your eyes to the shining sun,
Im sorry love, but I had to run.
I couldn't say, I had to leave.
You can't feel the pain I feel,
All the burning pain is real.
You can't see the things I see,
I can't be what you want me to be.
You cant fix this, it's a mess I've made,
Can't cover it up with a shiny bandaid,
Can't change it now, the pain won't fade.
You can't fix it with another bandaid.
I went to far with the jagged blade,
Can't cover this pain with a bandaid.
I cry to God, help me please,
The blade is such a terrible tease.
Begging for mercy, down on my knees,
I pray now that my thoughts will freeze.
Free me from the pain I feel,
Please, oh, please-- lets make a deal.
Free me from the mistakes I've made,
Cover it up with another bandaid.
Let the pain slowly fade,
Until I no longer need a bandaid.

This is an amazing write.
I find that I can definitely relate to this and I agree with Spoken
that when it cuts into the soul we need something more than superficial repair.
Great work!

love these lines. Some cuts are too deep for superficial repair. When it cuts into the soul, we need a higher healing power. Awesome piece girl, keep on writing!
