Wounds Never Truly Heal

They bleed despite the bandages
And ignorance only increases the pain
When realization hits
That wounds never truly heal.

The bleeding eventually stops
And the external repairing begins
But the Scar remains to attest
That wounds never truly heal.

The scars may fade and deceive
Those who look on the outside appearances
But the memories of hurt never fade
And so wounds never truly heal.

The true healing can begin
As soon as He is allowed in
He heals all and leaves no scar
For with Him wounds can truly heal.
