Old Wounds



OLD WOUNDS


Old scars if rubbed
Will scab and bleed;
Old aches return
With pressure.
A wounded heart
Of anger freed
Heals and breaks
In equal measure

  2. Heals and breaks
    In equal measure.

  4. A broken heart can be the precursor of different end results. It may spawn some concerned moments! Wonderful write Karen!

  6. Our hearts heals and hardens with each scar... pain is so raw in your lines.

  7. I read regret in this piece, and lack of resolution or closure. You say a lot with a few lines.
