These Scores
July 17, 2013
These scores
On flesh
Tell broken things
They speak
Of blade
The pain it brings
Laments
The loss
Of whole fresh skin
The breaks
Bleed out
The pain within.
The pain
Wells out
With scarlet drops
It beads
And runs
And finally stops
It's wiped
Away
Fresh scores to heal
The raw
Pink flesh
You love to feel
Some days
Soon pass
And tears do close
The fine
White lines
Behind are those
These scores
They scream
Of cries for peace
These scores
They tell
Of pain released.
