Wounds of the Heart

A wound of the body certainly bleeds and appears

Painful. But as time elapses, the pain

Will fade on its own, leaving only a stain

In the soul which will inevitably clear.

What is troublesome, I fear,

Are the wounds of the heart, that bind like a chain,

Those that do not disappear make it hard to keep sane

And sometimes they never heal, year after year.

There is just one thing, I'm sure,

To ease the wounds of the heart, none other

As innocent and pure as a dove.

Regretfully, it's a bothersome cure,

You can only receive it from another

The gift of eternal warmth, love.

A/N: An Italian Sonnet I wrote three years ago, based on Gaara's childhood.

(I know it lacks some elements of an Italian Sonnet, but bear with me)
