Wounded Healer

I’m a puzzle missing parts

My hands mend but tear my heart

The weight of whispers pulls me low

Dreams I buried under stone

Scars I carry

Not my own

I’m a wounded healer

Broken bone by bone

Giving my pieces

I’m never whole

Your light is rising while I fade slow

I’m a wounded healer

It’s all I know

Days are numbered

The clocks ticking slow

Every breath feels like a vow

To help your pain

But it drags me down

Mistakes haunt me like a ghost

I gave my best

But it cost the most

I’m a wounded healer

Broken bone by bone

Giving my pieces

I’m never whole

Your light is rising while I fade slow

I’m a wounded healer

It’s all I know
