The Scars on Our Hearts

Write a poem which could have this as the title.

The Scars On Our Hearts

I look at her heart

It looks just like mine

All the same scars

But we both say we’re fine

I’m not sure if it’s true

I should be

But I’m not

I could be

But I’m not

Why would I rather sit in pain

Than speak a word to someone

Who might be able to help

Though I know they can’t

It’d be nice to hope

That I could fix

What is already healed

I look at her heart

It’s the same as mine

All the same scars

But we both say we’re fine

I don’t know if she’s lying

If she is she’s doing it well

I think I recognize a mask

On someone I know so well

But how should I know?
