Time Doesn't Heal All Wounds Rewrite
7-19-09

some things never fade with time
remain an ache prodding my heart
some images stay imprinted in my mind's eye
for all eternity
no matter how hard I try to wipe them from my memory palace
these things I never forget
I choke on them and their indignities
I may suffer less but that doesn't
take the sting from their bite
nor does it lessen the blood that
oozes from wounds that never heal
