Real Pain

You see the scars Your scars to harm To harm yourself To harm yourself for how you felt How you felt with all the pain The pain that won't go away The pain that won't go away until you feel Until you feel something real Something real, real pain Real pain that distracts the way The way you feel The way you feel, your heart aches Aches from something lost Something lost Taken from you Taken from you, something you loved The thing you loved Gone for good Gone for good but not these scars These scars that reminds your heart Reminds your heart to never forget To never forget, all of it.
