Unglued

It peels back so soft and thin,
The vessels shine through the non existent skin
It was held on by what seemed a layer of spit,
When I saw it uncovered I must admit
The site was slightly disturbing to me,
I tried to push it back on the wound can't you see??
There was no luck with that so I pulled it off quick,
I need to get some damn tape that knows how to stick.

sticky, scabby, bloody imagery here, i though of a child peeling off their scab as i read this. very very detailed, and the rhyme was not forced at all it flowed very well, rolled right off the tung. another great write Stacy, very well done. but you did use multiple Question marks, this is not needed in my opinion. over all though an excellent write!!!

No one likes to see their wounds, whether physical or mental, but sometimes it is necessary in order to heal.

Great description in the poem. Made me want to know more about the wound. I like the ending. A excellent poem.

The imagery in the poem is great. It sounds as if you are trying to get a band aide to stick on a wound but it has come off anyway and that you are looking for a way to keep the love intact, but you can't find the way to fix it to hold the unity together. Unique and creative.
