Some Wounds

Your absence stings
a weeping, pink scar on my soul
a small burn, it's pain
ringing through me
all out of proportion.
In this one small moment
of disconnect
a room full of people
we are obligated to,
my eyes seek yours
and each time you turn away
it's as if the wound is new,
electric pain shoots through my veins
and I know all over again
that some wounds don't heal,
and some women
don't become whole again.
