Scars in Complex Patterns

Sew my eyes shut so I can’t see An Illusion I just can’t comprehend A thousand different images That I’ll never erase from my memory A thousand reasons why I’ll never trust again I can feel it Ripping, pulling, tearing At every aching bone An unspoken thought I can feel it Every broken promise tortures my soul Lay me on a bed of nails and I’ll call it home I engrave your betrayal And peel back flesh To expose these braided veins That carry every ounce of sorrow Tortured by every breath I take Desperation creeping in Light fades Infected wounds never heal They turn black and rot away With anger and despair Leaving scars in complex patterns Of hatred in their place It’s never enough to forget It’s never enough to forget It’s never enough to forget It’s never enough to forget
