The Scar

Wake her up from this horrible dream,

She can't think straight all she wants to do is scream.

Standing there, helplessly, trying to get hold of that last tear,

Thinking to herself, “Oh!! Why do I still have this crazy fear?”

Walking along the road all alone,

No friends, no family, nothing she can call her own.

Closing her eyes a million times,

Hoping one day she will be free from all her yearnings inside.

Hearts were broken,

Tears ran dry.

Dreams were shattered,

She then realized that he was all that mattered.

She wondered if it was her fault- to wait for so long,

Why couldn’t she see that everything was just so wrong?

Then started the war between her heart and mind,

Who was to win? Wouldn’t it be easier to just play blind?

Struggling with emotions with no words to say,

If only he could come back into her arms today.

Staring at the dark cloud with tears rushing down her chin,

Mourning on the fact that she knew she could never win.

Looked around, realized that she had nothing left to loose,

He made his choice,

Now it was her time to choose.

Went down on her knees, and prayed with all her soul,

She made a promise; it was time to let him go.

She buried her sorrows and took back that star.

But she would always be stuck with that awful SCAR....
