One Thousand Scars

She was bleeding, pierced and bruised To love she ran, but love refused With a thousand ugly scars on her heart Her smiles faded, her life fell apart He gave her a red rose As a sign of his love But the thorns pierced her hands The rose was filled with blood She trembled as the drops Stained her white dress Her heartbeat dared her to stop She was drowned with guilt; depressed With a life full of hurt From the very ones she loved She prayed a prayer to the skies above They answered her with the rain She stood silently, feeling no pain Her mistakes, her past were all forgotten Her distress, her fears became nothing She dropped the rose She stopped the bleeding Her dress was white She was still breathing She closed her eyes For a second or two Then opened them to see She was somewhere new Never again she would be alone She left the strangers, she finally came home.
