A bandage for the soul...

Random...

Wish there was a bandage,
For our wounded soul...
Or a strong adhesive,
To put us back together on the whole.

But a wounded soul,
Can never be bandaged...
When hope and faith,
Have left us stranded...

Author's Note

This is what happens when you stay up late at night :P

Sometimes the best poems come to us at the strangest times: for me it is when I'm driving, and don't happen to be able to write it down. That drives me crazy. Also, late at night spurs beautiful poems, like this one. Short but very meaningful. I liked the metaphors of a bandage, and I use soul in like 1/4 of my poems, because it is a good noun to use in a deep poem.

Very simple but beautfully heard. Some of the poets here over use words, I feel, to express the simplest of emotions. I loved not having to strain my mind to follow your train of thought. Thank you for sharing.

Good things happen when you stay up late. :)

Lovely poetry. Loads of meaning. Simple language.

wow! well put! I wish we could cure our hearts like a we do a scrape or a cut with a band aid but unfortunately we have to be strong and push forward...

I wish that too! :(
But there is no remedy to a broken heart. It is painful to read, but nevertheless, it is brutally honest. Sometimes, our best work comes our from the hardest times of our life!

I can understand. There are always a few dark and gloomy thoughts lurking around the edges of our mind before we fall asleep.
