I am a warrior
That I will never deny
Yes I fight in battles
But not ones visible to the naked eye
They say that I’m young
Tell me that life isn’t always fair
But I know that they’re wrong
They can never truly say they’ve been there
I never asked you for much
Always thinking ahead
Working behind the scenes
So you could keep your pride
I grew up quite quickly
Learned how to meditate ...
A man with a smile, a smile that hides his sorrows.
A man of bravery, not afraid or frightened to step up for what is right.
A man not afraid to cry, the tears slide down his cheeks and some are caught in his eye as he hears the words that are spoken so delicately to him.
A man of courage, courage to explore the unknown and the courage to walk away from the negative or toxic people that are ...
Ripped, shattered, torn,
words that describe the ragged mess that I am.
Gave him my heart,
blood, sweat, and tears,
devoted to the love that I thought was mine.
Wounds are suppose to heal,
stitching themselves over to reveal a scab,
but the scar on my heart will never go away.
A constant reminder of the darkness I went
through.
And even though I feel like I’m healed,
scars never truly go away....
The scars on our hearts are not seen by the naked eye, so I wonder how does one tell?
It’s written in the face, the wrinkles or lines tell you whether that heart has been scarred but more importantly if they have learnt from those scars.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, they tell you deep down what they have been through and if you look deep enough they tell your story.
It’s written in ...
**There are scars on my heart**
****
**That time cannot unweave.**
**Once, I shaped each part,**
**Thread by thread, I believed.**
****
****
** I wove a pattern, delicate and true—**
**But it unraveled.**
**Why did it come undone, too soon?**
**On this lonely road I’ve traveled.**
****
** What was the purpose?**
**For these scars that mark my heart.**
**Left abandoned at the circus**
**Of promises...
you can marry a lover that willing to kiss another .
You start to bleed from his greed , this isn’t what you agreed .
Till death do us part .
Yet you broke my heart !
Broken trust is the cost of love , as the light begins to dim as I lost sight of him .
Hope still dies as tears form in her eyes she knows it’s time for a goodbye ....
Love is a strange thing,
it brings people together,
and tears them apart.
I loved him,
I truly did
and he said he loved me too
but when he kissed me
he must have felt nothing
because his heart was already scared.
Another had broken it,
years before,
and it never healed.
Well he broke mine
and it hasn't healed either
so now two hearts have scars.
I will break hers too,
it's only inevitable
for a he...
the scars on our hearts,
have drove us apart.
until i could barely see.
surrounded by old wounds.
and lit with burning trees.
my hands shake so much
i can barely hold the needle.
that i’ll use to sew.
stitch,
and repair.
until our hearts are held together.
and our scars are on the mend....
