[this is two prompts, actually, so that’s why it’s so weird *and bad*]

If only an open wound

could seal, could close.

But, instead, it remains open,

and keeps you on your toes.

It’s not a punch,

but it blasts with pain

as if it were one.

And it makes you strain

for a day without it.

An open wound is a song,

not a good one; screechy;

uninspired; off-beat

and expects you to act ‘peachy.’

‘Life is awesome,

Life is great.’

Well, I guess

that’s up for debate.

If only this open wound

could close forever,

because pain is a cousin

I want to see never.

It’s searing and hateful,

trying to make me pass out.

Makes me wonder what would’ve

happened had he not lashed out.

If only an open wound

could seal, could close.

But, it seems pain studied

and swore some oaths.
