"But they have taken a wrong path for their wounds to heal."
[But they have taken the wrong path for their wounds to heal]
- 'a' seems to be grammatically incorrect and very indirect, changing it to 'the' makes it sound better, makes it grammatically correct, and makes it more direct.

You have an amazing poem here. Very truthful and seems to be heartfelt. Great emotional boundaries, good job not crossing over them to make it a mess of confusion. Great vocabulary and word usage
