Vanishing Scars

Look at me. 
Look well at me:
no more red eyes,
no more sadness,
no more silent tears.
Free at last?
Look the deepest in my heart:
just a faint silhouette
silently carved along the time I kept you
as an enchanted, although vicious, orchid
draining, day by day, the essence of my life.
