A Thousand Thoughts

Scarred. He knows that the memories will stay. Scarred. He knows that they'll weigh him down. Scarred. He knows that a part of him is gone, Given away, A gift of trust, Trust misplaced, Misplaced hope, Hopes crushed, A crushed heart- A part of his heart- Gone. Gone for good? Was it good? Was it bad? It could have been worse. Could it have been worse? Maybe the curse? Who knows. Who cares. He cares. He knows That he's scarred. Scarred for life. Scarred for death. Scarred to heal? The doctor said. Could he cry? Should he cry? Would he cry? Stop. He's just scarred. Not scared.
