The Scars on Our Hearts

Write a poem which could have this as the title.

Forget You: The Scars on Our Hearts

Once scarred, they now bleed

Thick drops dripping from an open wound

Reopened by sharp claws

Digging into my heart


I cry,

Tears spilling from my eyes

Openings into my heart,

My soul


Must you torture me?

You’re supposed to love me!

It’s what everyone says

“Unconditional love”

You say “tough love”


But I say no

That’s cruel!

You say I should be grateful for the leeway you’ve already given me

So much I don’t get in trouble for doing

Don’t get punished for


Except I do

I have phonophobia

You seem to keep forgetting that

You know what that is, right?


You yell

Scream

My ears are ringing

You’ve forgotten yet again

I have a fear of loud noises


These scars

All caused by you

They can never heal

Unless I learn not to trust you

Believe you

Love you

I need to forget

Forget everything

All the pain

More than the love & any good memories

Not more memorable than all the pain


I need to forget you
