The Scars of Love

The Scars of Love

A Poem by Frank Purcell

I think i may have pushed
My emotions a bit too far
Because now i feel myself
Carrying this internal scar

I must have pushed
My emotions a bit too deep
Because now Im lying here
Alone in a heap

So i carry my scar
Trying to find the love i need
But no one likes a scar
Which never ceases to bleed

I revolt against this feeling
Of lonely insecurity
While girls fall for charm boys
Who lack Originality!

I tried so many times
To stare love in the face
But nothing was staring back
I was alone in my own embrace.

Those scars are the wounds we will appreciate when you are old and gray. You will lose many battles to know love is rare and if it comes. Be kind and hold on tight. I had many day crying in my beer and took 36 years to find my poor wife. A very strong ending to a excellent poem.
