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?
