Scarred -

Eyes mirror the soul

Its deep longing for love

Its dark shadows of pain

Reading life like a book

Eyes mirror the soul

Its long yearning for life

Its dismal trail of tears

Reading life like a book

Turn the page, all the way back

All the pain, the tears, the sorrow

Never to be forgotten!

Reflections of grief

Post-traumatic sorrow

Lament in your eyes

Cut deep in your heart

Where’s the cure for a scarred heart?

Where’s salvation for past distress?

Will time heal all wounds?

Will seasons cease the aching?

Oh, tenderness caress

A scarred heart

Oh, love comfort

Past pains

Turn that page, and accept the past

All the pain, the tears, the sorrow

It’s there, never to be forgotten

Your pain shouldn’t be forgotten!

Built upon the ashes of the darkness past

Lessons learned from the book of life

Gaze into eternity, with open eyes

Spread your phoenix wings, and fly!
