The Scar

I have loved you so much in my entire life

But how about you?

You didn’t love me even a little bit

Even in the seconds of our lives together

 

This is just a short-term relationship

So I made the most out of it

I have known you

You have known me

 

Knowing can be the best or a worst thing

Knowing you takes time

But that time is all worth it

And you made it also worth it

 

Worthwhile time knowing you,

Knowing you means loving you

Worthwhile time knowing me,

Knowing me means hurting me

 

You hurt me over and over again

And you’ll do it over and over again

Now the end has ended

But the scar you left behind has not yet ended.

You write with so much depth and meaning. The emotion in the piece is overwhelming....

[Coyote Poetry]

Scars are good things. To remind us to be careful. I like the story and the way you described the emotion in the poem. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

We navigate the ups and downs of love. Pain is just inevitable, but like what they always say, "It's better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all". Keep writing.

deep sadness in your words, a love that has caused pain and hurt, but feeling it was worth knowing.
