The Scars on Our Hearts
Write a poem which could have this as the title.
if i closed my eyes and went up in flame
if i closed my eyes and went up in flames, the scars could never heal
those memories that cut so deep, they would haunt me forever
you would never be able to forgive yourself, and i could never forgive you
if i closed my eyes and went up in flames, my heart would never be returned to me
unanswered questions would be left to the wind, almost as forgotten as me
so much you would never know, so much i could never tell
if i closed my eyes and went up in flames, the unsaid words words would hang in empty silence
broken hearts could never be fixed, always echoing with pain
you would never know how much i was hurting, i would never tell you how much you hurt me
so you live like the worlds on fire
i’ll forgive, if you promise to never forget
to heal the scars on our hearts
