Wounds Poem by Nightshade Starlight

Deep and tearing,
Biting and eating.
An eternal ach that keeps spreading.
It won't go away,
These eternal wounds.
Its not something that a person
Can see on the outside.
If they looked on the inside,
They would see tattered and torn.
Ripped and burned.
A soul that has lost.
Deep wound that will never go away.
Even if it seems like it
Has vanished for a time being.
Yet it will always come back.
This deep pain that
Stabs to my heart.
I don't want it to be there.
I don't want anyone to see.
This heart it too wounded
For anyone to heal.
I may look perfect,
I might even look great and perky.
Yet I can feel the wounds
Tugging and pulling me under.
All I can do is try
Not to be engulfed
In forever tears.
And try to ignore these
Wounds.
