"The Scars Remain"

Whatever does not kill you
Will forever leave you maimed
The burning of your skin
Or the burning of your desire
The scars will still remain.

Recall for me the moment of chill
When your crush forgot your name
The breaking of your bones
Or the breaking of your heart
The scars will still remain.

Recall for me the moment of loss
When your parent's life was claimed
The rending of your flesh
Or the rending of your soul
The scars will still remain.

Recall for me the moment of pride
When your child first spoke your name
The pulling of your hair
Or the pulling of your heartstrings
The scars will still remain.
