Words| Scar

It’s not a scar

It’s a reminder 

Of a time when u & I

Were more than pronouns

More than just names to an old list

It’s a reminder of a time

When the sun went with all our dreams 

And the moon made sure it brought them back every night 

Whether it was full half or new

Didn’t matter to us 

Because darling we were ware wolves 

That just needed each other to bring out the beasts in us

We were fire flies that had bigger butts

You had a bigger butt

That outshone the moon

And i would always follow you 

Because you were my light bulb 

And i your helpless bug

I knew you would blind me

But that was okay

Because at least I would go out having seen your glory 

Outshining galaxies 

Outnumbering idiots on earth 

Darling you are a scar I am proud to own

You’re not a blemish

You are a reminder 

That there was a time I was human 

There was a time i was happy

I am not saying am sad

All i am saying is that you…

let me feel your edges 

Wasn’t worried they were etched 

Not that it mattered 

Because darling all beautiful things have prints

and yours made sense to me 

They showed the path to your heart 

Or rather a path through your heart 

A place you swore i owned 

A place you said you had no control over

The more reason I had to handle you with care

Not that you were fragile 

I handled you with care because you were atomic

One wrong move 

And we would all be counting… 

One reason we should stay 

Two reasons you hate me

And three reasons we should be strong 

Four reasons you were all my

Five reasons you were my grip

Ten reasons we would clap our selves out of misery 

It seemed we always needed one more chance 

But if that one more was more than once

Then it is not more

It would be the final

So how about we go big

Because home is not an option 

If you are not there

Or maybe if you don’t want to be there

I say this with a tense so past

Because you are gone now
