The Wound Dresser

By the house where you grew up
you sink your teeth into me
for what feels like an eternity
Who knew you had it in you
There is blood everywhere
seeping through every crack and tear
How can you, how can you see it
any other way than my
How can you, how can you wield it
into something tangible
How?
I rip a pieace from the plaid shirt
you bought me back in '02
I really don’t know what else to do
How can you, how can you see it
any other way than my
How can you, how can you wield it
into something tangible
How can you, how can you leave it
held together by a lie
