Echoing through my scars

Staggering lifelessly,
Remembering those words.
Though they were few,
They all were still heard.

Screaming in my mind,
Remembering those times.
All of the pressure,
After every lie.

I fought for this life,
Yet you won the war.
Lost everything I was,
Everything I stood for.

Those words you spoke,
So softly to my heart.
You numbed my soul,
So the pain was less sharp.

The pain I remember,
More than I remember you.
Every time we failed,
Everything I went through.

For others, love is wonderful,
For us, just misery.
We were always arguing,
Over things for no need.

As we part our ways,
Separate, and always far.
I'll still hear those words.
Echoing through my scars.

I love you,
I hate you,
I call you,
I leave you,
I beg you,
I plead you,
I hold you,
I need you,
I see you,
I hear you...
Echoing through these scars...
