Bloodless Cut
I nicked myself the other day,
A unique injury, barely
Exposing soft flesh without blood.
The knife was sharp,
But not enough to scar.
I secured the area,
Cleaned up the flesh,
Cut off the ragged edges,
Found the perfect bandage,
Contained the damage.
So now I wait,
It will take a while,
But the nail will grow,
Over exposed flesh,
'til it looks brand new,
The injury healed, hidden.
A secret between me and my finger.
