Watch

October 01, 2012 ------------------------------- Watch these scars of mine as they grow, Everyday another one shows Slowly reshaping my look until I am, Just an ugly washboard-worthless Watch these scars of mine slowly fade Everyday a little less seen but never truly gone Forgotten dreams rolling like a red river down my arm Another, silent scream Give unto me your pain, your sorrow Live until there is no tomorrow Place around me a robe of sweet lies While my mind slowly dies Watch these scars of mine consume me Watch these scars of mine subdue me Will anyone ever save me Will I ever be free

Sometimes just watching can be the most tortuous of all tortures. Nobody likes to see others hurt. But those that hurt perhaps want them to see just how much they really care. Fantastic, memorable lines here. Always, Laura
