A broken promise

Etched, a violent sketch 

Of hurt and hatred

Trying to forget

Trying to drown

A mistake

The sharp pull of pain

A siren calling further down

The stitching together

Never quite so complete

A deep red reminder 

Losing count to stop losing sleep

The darkness of night taunting 

Days that torment until end 

Because it's hard to heal

Oh how hard it is to mend 

When your mind the demon 

At the tunnel's end.
