A Gifted Scar
He received a scar as a present from her,
A present when he gave her his heart,
A present wrapped in a lovely red ribbon,
That would never be pulled apart,
And this scar it grew from a small damaged book,
It grew to envelop his mind,
It grew and devoured all that he had,
Leaving him emotionally blind,
Till now, day by day, the ache of this scar,
It fuels his path to nowhere,
It fuels every small romantic brush stroke,
And makes his emotions aware,
Of protecting his heart, his itch, his love,
Keeping it safe from the rain,
Mending this scar of emotional hurt,
Protecting his heart from the pain.
