Brand New Scar

Folder: 
A Scar is Born

Rip out my heart and paint it gray

A brand new scar is born today



You whispered in my ear that you would always be my most loyal ally and closest friend,

You insisted that your affection for me was real and would never arrive at an extemporaneous end.

Beyond the truth, all I received from you were these toxic tears in my eyes and a permanent scar on my hand grenade heart,

In the midst of the sadistic smiles and screams, all you did was draw blueprints for boundaries and boarders of betrayal and set the sides further apart.



Reaching for a star just too far away

A brand new scar is born today



You promised that you would always be there, but now you're nowhere to be found,

You exclaimed that you would take me to the pinnacle of true bliss, but now I'm falling and crawling on the frigid land mine infested ground.

Above the surface, all you did was stampede and trample over endless enemy lines,

Beneath the ashes, all you took was this decaying dog tag you discovered on the dirty ground and lividly labeled it mine.



Creating the deepest, most depressing shade of gray

A brand new scar is born today



You assured that you would never hurt me, but now there's no way to escape the poisonous pain,

You argued that I would be better off alone, but your opaque image I cannot erase out of my brainwashed brain .

Inside the shell, all you made were these empty promises that you would eventually break,

Outside the box, all you gave me is a one way ticket to tragedy and an everlasting heartache.



No matter what you say or do, I still can't make you stay

A brand new scar is born today



You proclaimed that you would be completely honest, but all you did was lie,

You stated that you would be the love of my life, but now I just want to die.

Before the blaze, all you did was back-stab, connive, and pretend,

After the haze, all you did was break the heart of your former companion and best friend.





...A scar is born

my heart is torn

Why must we sever?

I'll miss you forever

Scars on my heart

together and apart

Scars in my mind

wishing I could just push rewind

Scars on my soul

I've lost all remaining control

Scars in my head

I wish I was dead

A scar is born

my future is torn

Why can't we always be together?

I'll love you forever...



Destroying my life and demolishing my dreams on Doom's Day,

A brand new scar is born today,

But someday my battle scars will heal and all of this pain will eventually vanish away.

I liked this poem. Actually I don't believe I've read a poem of yours I didn't like. You seem to be a very accomplished writer. If you don't mind I'd appreciate it if you read a few of my works and gave me some pointers.

Sounds like first love that came to an end. Bittersweet memory as we move on in life. Very powerful piece emotionally
