Wounds

Written for The Blue Rose Cafe ~ CHAUCERIAN RONDEL contest.

Some wounds take more than time to heal

Emotions entangled are like ice, hard to keep

Tears roll out whenever they melt and seep

 

With these reminiscences of past, I still need to deal

I had been crying and I will be, with relentless urge to weep

Some wounds take more than time to heal

 

The pain of agonizing wounds I still feel

I was delicate back then, so cuts are deep

And this dust like pain time alone can’t sweep

Some wounds take more than time to heal

Author's Note

this was a new experience because of rhyming pattern constraint, hope you like it.

i was delicate back then, so wounds are deep.!!
bingo..well written

I don't really believe that wounds heal with time. I feel they just reside at the back of our minds and each time they are brought forward they hurt with the same intensity. With time, The frequency of us thinking about them decreases. And we begin to accept things the way they are. Maybe that is why it seems that wounds heal with time.
Anyway, you wrote well. Entangled emotions are hard to sort out.

thanks for stopping by :)

Why do people say "wounds heal with time"? this is not the truth..
Anyways,i liked the last line....the essence of the line lingers on...

[Abilash Uttama]

Not every wound heals with time, but we can learn to live with them.

Do they actually ever heal?
I have applied like every kind of ointment and trust me dude,it took me nowhere.
Until,I realized there's no such ointment.
Anyway, the line "I was delicate back then"definitely tells me that you are better and stronger now.Its all about transcending from then to now.
Good one:)

I guess after sometime we learn to live with them, and like scars of a warrior they glorify us or atleast teach us that we can endure much more than this. Thanks for your time :)

Wise words that anyone and everyone can relate to. Pain makes you stronger and more tolerant. Maybe time cannot heal your wounds, but your wounds can heal you and strengthen you into a better person.

On a different note, I guess IIT students are subjected to more pain than us normal human beings. Hang in there :D

[Abilash Uttama]

indeed wounds make us strong, thank you so much for your time :)
And on the other note(the one you used) we too are normal humans yaar :D
