The Wound Dresser - Tiger Lou

By the house where you grew up

you sink your teeth into me

for what feels like an eternity

Who knew you had it in you

There is blood everywhere

seeping through every crack and tear

How can you, how can you see it

any other way than my

How can you, how can you wield it

into something tangible

How?

I rip a pieace from the plaid shirt

you bought me back in '02

I really don’t know what else to do

How can you, how can you see it

any other way than my

How can you, how can you wield it

into something tangible

How can you, how can you leave it

held together by a lie
