Kissing Scars


Where art thou? Remember those days

Entangled in you and me

I see

Your wrists, feel that history

I ask

You answer, completely

Just like me

And I see you again

Deeper this time

With more understanding

I bring your wrist to my lips

Putting your pain to rest within me

Cursed with deep feeling

Wishing it were like a movie and when my tears dropped they could heal you

But this is real life, real love my friend

Where others only tell the stories we wear

So we stay seated, entangled

Watching something foreign

Scars and all

Together, as we are.

Reach out, please.
