Written for those whom have been (are being) abused.


I went to the doc today
I was in a bad way
The tears were really flowing
I was having an awful day.

There was this big gaping wound
Which he looked at and sighed
Then peered inside to my heart
His disgust, he could not hide.

He reached for the medical tape
Gingerly put my heart back together
With a shake of his head, said
“That gaping wound may be there forever”.

“The wound is your soul,” he went on
“A scar always abused, cut open
You know it will never heal
When your heart’s forever being broken.”

He put a fatherly hand
Over my newly patched heart
And said with encouragement
“You can now make a new start”.

I walked out of doc’s room
All patched up, I thought “for awhile”
Then deep within my soul
The wound started mending, I gave a smile.

Yes Tara, there is a new begning, and although it never heals, it does close to be unnoticed, and life goes on.

love the work kid.

Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

sad but sweet, Tara. And I love the title, it is so descriptive.

I've been through something like that, but I didn't have a "doctor" there...still don't. I really liked it.
