The Scars Remain

Memories fade
Pain subsides
But scars remain

They haunt you at night
When you want to sleep
They draw the eye
When all you want is to disappear

Sometimes I wish they could see
The scars that line my heart

Sometimes I wish they knew
When he opened them again

Words that remain unspoken
For fear of the unknown
Cut deep into my mind
And make me wish
He could see the scars
He created
