Scars

by Weeping Willow   Aug 2, 2020


I want you to kiss my scars
Instead of looking at them
With a flash of pain
In your eyes then avoiding them
At all costs

I want you to take in my flaws
My marks on my skin
My hair where it doesn’t belong
And love them as much as
The beautiful parts

I’ve never been this scared
To bare my body to another
I get nervous at the thought
Of you undressing me.

Because I want so badly
For you to be it for me
The stakes are ever so high
This time

    Wow, such a powerfully emotive poem. Baring everything with the prospect of rejection and all the pain and sorrow that would bring. A brilliant write

    This was heartbreaking beautiful. That simple plea and desire for someone to see us and accept us when we are most vulnerable. Also, the sheer terror of it. Of wanting their full love, for every part of you, no matter the scar. On a personal level, I felt this piece, especially in the apprehension of someone seeing my scars, how they will react. Will their love be just as tender and true?

    Wishing the best for you. Keep writing and sharing with us all.
