Battle Scars
Found Poem~Battle Scars
The wound(s) heal but they never do
Never let a wound ruin me
but
Your words really f***ing hurt me
like arrow holes that never close from cupid on a shooting spree
Feeling stupid 'cause I know there won’t be no you and me
Been trying to let him go but I’ve got the fear of the unknown holding me
A lover not a fighter on the front line with a poem
Trying to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a song
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
I wish I never looked, I wish I never felt the way I did
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
'Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget him
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
'Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
Shields, body armors and vests
you're in a locker full of hurt
within and all the fires from your friends contains the enemy
The best medicine is to probably just let her win
I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
I wish that I could stop 'cause it hurts so much
But it never does
