Always There

Painful memories residing in unfinished papers...

tearing at my heart,

never healing,

always there.

always there.

Digging deep does not remove

but provokes

and digs it deeper

never healing

still there,

always there.

No longer do tears come…

but just a pain,

an ache

a tear stitched together

yet not healed,

And it’s always there.

Always there.

Never healing,

always hurting.

Wondering…

Yet knowing

it could never change.

Never be that way.

Little hands still lost,

reaching into my heart,

even though they don’t know…

to small to understand,

to understand that they are always there.

Always there.

Tearing at my heart.

Always there,

Always there.
