The Fucking Band-Aid

[Estefanie.V]

Edited Version:

Breathe slowly
Breathe deep
Heal slowly
Heal deep

glued Skin - bound,
each piece leaves
a mark

Passion to heal
addicted to mend
aroused by repair
licking the gash
some past Juliets left

Leftover warmth.

No dirt. the itching
beneath, bearing it,
fondling the wound.

Techniques to re-build
under water and heat
against dust and rust
Distinct alteration
slow transmutation
from a sterile device
to a carnal drag.

Eroded and sloppy starts to detach
no more affection,
lust or infections
Holding your breath
pull it apart
unfold the fresh scar

Leftover love.


(Original)
Breathe slowly
Breathe deep
Heal slowly
Heal deep
 
Skin-bound
gluing each piece
healing it good
leaves a mark
 
Passion to heal
addicted to mend, aroused by repair
licking the gash
some past Juliets left
Leftover warmth.
 
Stick to it
such a good job
The itching beneath,
no scratching allowed.
Stuck to it, bearing it
worn down, well done.
no dirt, no mud
fondling the wound.
 
Techniques to re-build

from a sterile device
to a carnal drag.
 
Eroded and sloppy starts to detach
no more affection,

Holding your breath
pull it apart
unfold the fresh scar.
 
Leftovers of love
