The fixer-upper

Allie561

The first aid kit

Made for moments when you say “Oh sh*t”

A band-aid for a scrape

Ointments and surgical tape

It can fix all sorts of things

Cuts, rashes, stings

Too bad it can’t fix a broken heart

Or stop time and restart

At least it can stop me from bleeding

    Clever a poem of metaphor where the real is mended to the metaphorical.

        What a heartfelt piece, Allie. The everyday simplicity of the first aid kit makes the emotional turn feel all the more powerful. We can patch up so many physical hurts, yet the ones we can’t see often take the longest to mend. Beautifully written, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
