This Scar Won’t Heal
This scar won’t heal,
The more you pick and peel.
This wound won’t close,
The grief won’t end.
I don’t know you anymore,
You’re not who we knew before.
You’re not the man who built me,
Why won’t you let us mend?
Memories cherished are tainted,
Past tapestry being repainted.
I can’t remember my last with her,
Without the imagined stained.
This wound wont close,
Because of the path you chose.
I’m left broken and lost,
All in my life is strained.
You’re not the man who made me,
No longer who I want to be.
I will be the best of you both,
Not the half left behind.
I can’t remember my last with her,
Can’t reach through the ether.
With my anchor here,
My own true self I’ll find.
I’m again left broken, our history lost,
You gave it away to a heart of frost.
You’ve gone to mom to finally rest,
But no peace here for those you’ve left.
I will be the best of you both,
And forget the worst left behind.
I will pass on the best of me,
But this scar will never heal.
