Scars

by Love   Jul 25, 2020


These scars run so deep, that...
I'm afraid no other man will ever be able to penetrate my soul.
And if so,
He would just fall right through me.
For my arms and legs display untold stories,
Of self hate, destruction and madness.

I fear that,
If even the bravest of man,
Could ever read between these marred lines,
He also, would see the world through jaded eyes.

Or worse yet-
Just by the simple act of loving me...
I would somehow,
Or eventually,
Scar the insides of him, too.

    Very emotive, this piece reads like a very personal write which gives it an added intensity.

    That guy would be really lucky to have you though! He wouldn't be scarred, he'd be healed! =) But I like your poem! It's really sad and genuine. I feel like it's about being scared to have somebody. I'm the same way. Like maybe even if I did find them, would I mess it up somehow because of all my bad luck? I've actually worried about this for so long myself. But I wanna get better too. Anyways, enough about me. lol. I enjoyed your poem! I hope your scars aren't running too deep and that you find happiness! The ending is really good! It reinforces that fear of feeling hurt. Great job!
