Sutures

(Inspired by Fix You by Coldplay)

A pinprick and blood comes out
Tints of red, pints of pain
Gush down the ragged sheet that is your skin
It doesn't stop

The dam breaks
Its walls conniving and screaming
To patch up the holes
You panic, and you become confused

Thunders clap, waves roar
The hurricane inside rages on
You try to stitch back
Yourself, even the thread is gone

But no matter
How it feels daggers
You must patch yourself up,
Angel with a sword.

Your battle continues
And you must inhale the dust of war
Be cunning and keep running
Saddle up and keep fighting.
