Can Salt Really Heal All Wounds?

Upon my eye
there forms a blister
salt water is the cure.


Though it stings
the healing begins
my comfort returns
once more.


But why add pain
when you already hurt
it doesn't sound quite right.


The reason it seems
is actually sound
as with it's cleansing
with salt infection we'll fight.


But what of a heart
when it's been broken
can salt then cure this wound.


Taste your tears
what you'll find
is a not so strange brine
that carries the poison away.


So giving it time
a brine used this way
can ease a heart broken
but I'm afraid

It generally takes more than a day.
