belt, broom, coat hanger, cane.
these leave the scars on my ankles
the bruises on my arms
the ache in my heart.

ouch, the physical pain
it hurts as hell
but i'll recover
because my body will heal

for the tears i weep
a box of Kleenex
and a tub of Ben and Jerry's
is just the right antidote

but all i wonder
is why there isnt a bandaid for my heart.

wrote this at a Starbucks waiting for my friend to arrive..weird how inspiration comes..

its dedicated to my sweet friend brendan who i am deeply concerned about now..he's going through some rough times so i'm trying to see the situation through his eyes
