Scar tissue
Scar tissue
Red, angry and deep
a constant reminder
this should not have been
no hiding its ugly truth
the tell-tale sign of pain
leaving its mark
unseen but always felt
Lament for loss (cautiously)
necessary ointment
somewhat heals
the scar will soften
memory only fades so much
cradle it with care
release redundant detriment
Through the cracks
nature takes opportunities
blossoming over the damage
there is hope in healing
when we are nurtured
by an open heart
and not hidden in the dark
~ Camille
