Scars

Death lingers
Death holds
Death never forgets
Death scars

Why did you have to leave?
Why did you leave me behind?
Why didn’t you cry for help?
Why did you hide your scars?

Life dies
Life fades
Life hates
Life scars

Did you tell me something?
Did I not hear you cry?
Did you reach out?
Did life give up on you?

Hope lies
Hope dies
Hope hides
Hope scars

You left me empty.
You left a hole.
You left me and didn’t say good bye.
You left another scar!
