Invisible Wounds

I squeeze into a small hole

Through the eyes of needles

To stitch you up again

Even though I know so well

I can't fix anything

I look for blood to shed

Mistaking every vein for thread

Spreading out too thin

As I'm lying in my bed

Barely existing

And I need you

And I need you

To understand

To understand

Sometimes I see light

And I fear it's only fantasy

Oh, wouldn't it be tragic

If there is no light in me

Not any magic

And I need you

To forgive me

If you can

If you can

I know the best I can

Isn't always good enough

It hurts to know I hurt you

Like I know it hurts for you

To know you've hurt me

And now my blood is yours

And life is slowly losing touch

How do we learn to tend to

These invisible wounds

Our homes gave us?

I can't heal you

And you can't heal me

Even if we wanted to

And how I wanted to

And I need you

To stop needing me

Like I've needed you

We both need to

Tend to the invisible wounds
