I’m still beating
But it hurts to feel
Etched with wounds
That won’t quite heal
Bandages and wrapped
But I can’t ignore the fact
You failed to protect me
Chance after chance
Believing you’ll get it right
Pain is inevitable
But I have no more fight
Turn me to stone
Unfeeling and cold
Hard as a rock
So the torture can stop
