Scarred Hearts

I sit and I think of you, eyes welling with tears As I flood with thoughts of you I feel remorse You don't understand, never will It’s not your scars I see, but your heart, Your radiant soul and that eternal glow of your flesh I cry not over you but for you, for the loss You lost your belief in yourself so long ago You believe that you are a scarred entity This isn't true, you are beauty incarnate It’s not your flesh but your mind and heart I see those wounds of yours, though They're always present in your mind You can’t understand my gaze My belief in your beauty and grace You never will allow me to love you I watch, I wait and I am glad I see your happiness I know I have now lost my chance to be the one, The one that holds your heart in his hands, Protected from all pain and anguish But I take heart, you are in my life once more In my words and in my thoughts... Happy once again. I hope and I pray never to lose you again To have lost you from my life would be a crime I hope you never read this, or if you do that you cannot believe it’s you I write about I believe this would hurt you more to read One day, maybe you will let me hold you again…
