SCARS OF LOVE

By: Pepper Clark

THESE SCARS OF LOVE
THAT DWELL INSIDE ME
GO DEEPER THAN ANYONE CAN SEE

THE LAYERS ARE MANY
FROM YEARS THAT WERE LONG
THEY REMAIN STURDY
AND THEIR MEMORY STANDS STRONG

THESE REMINDERS OF PAIN
THAT WILL NEVER FADE
FROM ACTIONS INSANE
HAS WEAK ME MADE

NO MORE TRUST TO BE GIVEN
TO EVEN KIND, GENTLE HANDS
THIS MADNESS DRIVEN
BY TOUCH OF MAN

SCARS I GET NO RELIEF FROM
PENETRATE MY SELF
THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL LOVE
THIS PAIN I FELT

I CLOSE MY EYES TO ACTIONS PAST
THAT MY LIFE WAS MADE
TO GROW UP TOO FAST

SCARS OF LOVE
MAY ALWAYS BE
DWELL INSIDE
AND BE PART OF ME

BUT CONQUER I WILL
ONE DAY TO FIND
WITH HELP TO BECOME
ALL THAT IS MINE

THESE SCARS OF LOVE
