Wound-taut skin of my hurting soul
Stretched tight across the drum of desire,
Spirit-slain casualty of un-fought wars
Scathing source of open trench-like scars

Needn’t heal...wouldn’t heal…won’t heal…
Can’t feel pain anymore
The hurting’s gone
The pain remains

Just in case
I breathe again

What an amazing insight here...
Quite vividly marked...but the point was well made, as to express this would indicate that time is working well for you.
