My Favorite Scar

Leave me
my own
my sorrows
my marks

I tear.
myself apart,
With all of this

These scars.
Are reminders,
Of my past actions 

Each cut.
Another story,
Each story another emotion

Still today.
SHE’S it, 
The only visible mark

The rest.
Have healed,
But she still resides

The heart.
SHE broke,
The day SHE left

The future.
SHE destroyed,
The world SHE demolished

The emotion.
SHE killed,
The memories SHE left

That's it.
Only memories,
They’re left nothing more

my scars.
Have healed, 
Over time and disappeared


This one.
Is eternal,
Forever there reminding me

SHE was.
Has been,
And always will be

MY life
MY world
MY only
MY love
