Bamboo

Bamboo graffitied
With scars
Initials, names
Little carven hearts

Scars so white
Like your arms in the sunlight
Though you cover them
I've seen what you've done

Bamboo engraved with scars
Reminds me of you...

So strong, all in vain,
because you’re
Littered with
White lines of pain

Just as your heart late at night
An endless, silent fight

The memories wont fade
And the marks remain the same

Bamboo covered in scars
Like your arms

A/N: My inspiration for this theme was from a Japanese garden in Austin, TX… many of the bamboo stalks growing along the paths were covered in carved graffiti, which had turned white over time, into scars.
I tried to take a picture, but it refused to be captured the way I saw it.
