The Same as Always

That's everything.
It's done.
You've nothing left
Except this hole,
This ragged piece of blank.

Girl, you're fortunate.
I've seen them rot
And trickle through the tissues,
Through the veins,

A hideous distillment,
Leaching death.

But not for you.
Right now, for you,
This granulating wound
This healing skin.
