Fade the Scar
Her name and face are no longer
Burnt into the surface my mind,
But deeper down
There is still the scar.
And it is as if something still resides upon it,
Something that could re-light
And return the emotion
To its former glory.
My heart was pierced and torn asunder by her
And though dulled,
It is painful still.
She is still in my mind -
And I have day-dreams
Of our joyous empathy-reunion.
Desiring to become
All that she despises.
Or becoming all that she wished for...?
...Fade, scar. Fade...
