My scars

By imfine

Each scar tells a story.

But who is there to listen?
Who will trace each scar
And ask where it is from?
Then try to kiss away the pain.

Will there ever be a person,
One who looks deep inside.
For not all scars are visible 
To the naked eye.

You have to look closely, 
For that is where you will find
The memories of hurt,
And where broken hearts hide.

We try to change our scars.
And often try to hide them.
So who will trace each scar
To see the pain that each one hides?

    The truth behind this is unreal. My bestfriend, my love, my life, used to hate when I did this to him. I traced every scar, every night, and would try to kiss away the pain, or apologized, because those had been every time, he ever needed someone to hold him, and I never could have been there for him. I'm as much here for him as I have ever been, as he is for me, even if it is not how I wish it to be. Nicely portrayed, fellow poet. I am looking forward to seeing more of your pieces :)
