This is the last poem I write quite possibly for the rest of the year. Or atleast until I have a good enough reason. Thanks to everyone who viewed commented and rated them over the last year.
Scars
So ends a chapter in my life
But with the end another begins
Decades spent in strife
Wading through turmoil
Trying to atone for my sins
These hands were never perfect
I never claimed them to be such
Even for being so young
How could I ever hurt so much
It's not really the hurt that matters
My heart still remains whole
But what has ended this chapter
Are the scars left on my soul
A wise man once said
"Only reality is what is real"
This man obviously never knew loss
Never knew what it was like to feel
It's not about heart break
It's about the way the world turns;
About another one left in the dirt.
The world left stained.
The unworldly scars of man
This pain cannot be contained
I'm not sure where else to go
These scars were a jounrey on their own
Old wounds left opened;
Nothing left to sew.
Wind blown sand creeping over the horizon
Another one falls;
To them he calls
For nothing in this world is worth dying
For over and over;
These lost souls are left crying
