Band-aids on Bullet Wounds

I Love You, he says.
It breaks the skin,
Thrusts it open.
I bleed. Again.
I breathe. Again
I'm dying. Again.

Why? I don't ask.
Why? My eyes ask.
He levels his stare,
No revelry compares.
Gaze take aim,
I Love you, he claims.

Don't use that as ammunition, I say.
Shoved words down
the barrel of your gun.
Don't wound me with your bullets today.
I'll be dead before
The night is done.

Your Sorries lay upon my flesh,
A band aid to cover the hole.
But band aids on bullet wounds
Don't heal the tortured soul.

Nice expressions shared as you question you worth. It sounds like you are worth a whole lot better without someone that emotionally abuses you. You have a bright spirit, which comes through in your writing. Stay strong! You deserve the words I Love You to really mean something other than trying to placate. Nicely put together, keep up the great writes! ~ Judi ☺
