Like a Wound that Never Shuts


If ever,

One day

Your children 

Find the love letters

I’ve wrote you

Tell them

This is the type of love

They should search 

Far and wide for

Someone to teach them 

Their worth

Tell them 

to search for a love

beyond compare

That spills so easily

Onto every page

And bleeds

like a wound 

that never shuts
