These Scars.

These Scars.

The world has darkened considerably
I'm out of character for this game;

The clouds enveloping overhead
Love always transforms to pain.

The colours of the world have gone
Faded all to black and gray,

All the love in the world has gone
It all has drifted away.

The empty streets are filled with memories
The world is not the same,

Scream with me, at the end:
I'm the one to blame.

And yet when I walk out of this life
I find the signs are still worth reading,

And the stars are still worth watching
If it only stopped the bleeding
Heart that I held on, near forever
These scars will stay forever.

I've never healed in this second life,
In this world of half dark and light.

I cannot see the colours that I held onto forever
And no longer are there any stars to see the scars,
Remember.

I cannot think;
I cannot heal;
I cannot breathe;
This isn't real;

This isn't life;
This isn't love;
This isn't me;
This isn't me.

And though the skies are dark with ash
And the sea is filled with fire;

Though my mind is filled with confusion
And my heart filled with desire...

Even though you ran away from a burning world
Away from a breaking, falling heart,

Even though you didn't catch me when my wings disappeared,
Even though you haven't been here...

I still love you,
In a colourless, loveless, heartless world.

I love you.

    "And though the skies are dark with ash
    And the sea is filled with fire;

    Though my mind is filled with confusion
    And my heart filled with desire..."

    Such powerful and emotive language is placed within this poem, you certainly knew what you were writing about. I love the flow of this poem and the desire in the end.
    I love that song also, it inspired me to write one of my poems also. They're a great band.

    Yours truly,
    Sharni. xx
