Wholeheartedly

You are so much
stronger than suicide

You are so much more
powerful than the cuts on your arm
and so much better than
you believe yourself to be
so much more than your scars

I see you
I see the real you

Darling

Please look me in the eyes
and show me your wounds
whether they be on your flesh
or your mind and your heart

Sweetheart

Think one thing
just one thing
every single day

That you are LOVED
wholeheartedly
without doubt
or fear

You carry my heart
in your heart
as E.E. Cummings wrote

Each one of your scars
now reflects on my skin

Scars are create for good and bad reasons. Sometime we need to know pain to appreciate pleasure.

I like the desire of mercy and concern in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Scars, so ugly to some but need not be all that we are. This makes me think of movies that I've seen where scars are praised or, appreciated. I know it is deeper still, but that is what I see in the minds eye. Beauty bled into the margins, love on the outside. Well done.

A symphony... echoes within us all.

Yes, there are scars within and scars without. Your love seems to shine above all the darkness of what was left behind to leave those marks of pain and battles fought. Love is so much greater than all else.
