Lies and Scars

Once he was my hero The one I admired The one I adored The one I looked up to Respected And loved He was my first love The first to held my hand When there’s cloud beneath my head His face that I looked first For comfort And safety Engulfed me in his arms Then Truth was shown Secrets unsealed My hero My knight Is my nightmare In the dark You whom I love A dearest Once precious Your betrayal and lies The hurt and the pain Scarred me to life I ask myself Could it be more hurtful? More worst than this? Without a doubt The answer is yes Swear to God I feel it in my gut Strangling and choking No air I'm breathless Yet No tears Non anything Empty and Numb Yet, I believe With time With faith And hope And light No pain unbearable No cuts unhealed Nor tears unshed Even scars still fade.
