Soft Spots

We all carry a wound,
some carry many.
Healed, or still raw,
they are our soft spots.
We shield those places,
that are delicate, fragile.
We build walls around them
to protect them, and prevent
them from being knocked.
For although old wounds
mend and leave their scars,
Sometimes just the tiniest touch,
can open them up again.
And all the pain,
can come flooding back.
As if it had never been gone.

I'm not sure the pain truly goes away. I think it just lingers and waits...

An honest writing... and a lovely piece of artwork to match.

Well. Glad to come here. Well Portraited and defined. Wounds cant be sealed. What ever strength the walls have, they melt like ice when touched. Wounds to be healed. To heal to erase. - Thank You with Best Wishes.
