Scarred - the Man I Love
I close my eyes
and I see your face
I reach out my hand
to touch, to explore
every wrinkle and every outline,
my fingers stop
involuntarily on the scar
I can feel your body retract
your rigid response
an indication that you’re still not at peace,
you try to move away
to stop me from exploring further
something that is ugly in your eyes,
to me it’s the most distinctive part of you
I wished you would see yourself through my eyes,
because that scar is the one thing
that is uniquely you
it is one of the things that makes me
love you more,
you put your life on the line
for a stranger,
the scar a permanent reminder
of the day I fell in love…
