I Wear All My Scars Except My Broken Heart

The flash of deception has left me blind
Your words cut deep in my flesh and were unkind
My bones are broken will they ever heal
Your gone from my presence can this be real

I lost my love and it ripped me apart
I wear all my scars except my broken heart

My ears are deaf from your broken word
I was maimed for life and goodbye was all I heard
From the last embrace my hands hurt so much
You left me and now I cannot touch

I lost my love and it ripped me apart
I wear all my scars except my broken heart

I opened my mouth but there is no sound
Your lies ceased to make my heart pound
My lungs are empty I have only one final breath
When true love returns I can rise from death

I lost my love and it ripped me apart
I wear all my scars except my broken heart

Kevin, this reads like it could be a song. Broken hearts make for some of the best poetry ever written - funny how that happens. Keep up the good works.
