His scars

by Jenie   Jul 21, 2008


Something happened tonight
I had a flash from our past
Which lead me to believe
In my heart you`ll always last

I tried really hard
For this memory to erase
But my thoughts got too wild
I was in a whole other place

My hands shook
My lips I bit
Trying to keep myself busy
But wasn`t enough for me to forget

I looked at your picture
For a touch of comfort
It wasn`t what I wanted
So I found my last resort

Its been what seems like a life time
Since ive done what I did
But I needed to feel
Now my shame needs to be hid

I sat and pondered
If it was worth the pain
But I knew it was
So I carved your name

Tears rolled down in self-pity
And blood raced by its side
I hated what I had done
A piece of me just died

My grieving still comes and goes
But this habit had stopped
Now I have to start all over
This habit wont be easy to drop

Its just I love you dearly
And after 4 years its hard
To let go of your first
Regardless of his scars...

    It has been a long while since I stepped back to reading peoples thoughts. I have not heared from you in a really long while. This piece you wrote here. It would make me sad to know if it was true. All I can say is I can relate... and that if this is a piece that is not fiction that I am sorry.

    My. That is an intense poem.
    Its sad, but very good.
    Well-written and flowed nicely.
    Especially liked:

    Its just I love you dearly
    And after 4 years its hard
    To let go of your first
    Regardless of his scars...

    That last stanza is amazing. I always think the last lines of a poem are important.
    And you gave it a great ending.
    Continue writing poetry. You are talented.
