Scar Gazing (Free verse) by thepinkbunnyofdoom
As I lie here in my backyard
Looking up at the night sky
I can't help but wonder what I'm looking at
Are those balls of fire or merely holes in the ceiling
From where fools fell through
I can't help but ask
Am I a fool too
Because here I am sitting alone in the dark
Waiting for the sun to rise and its only after midnight
I want to feel the light of day
Again shining brilliant on my face
To burn away the moisture at the edge of my eyes
Yes Love I still know the tyranny of tears
The shackles of memory are still apon me
Ask any whom have asked they will tell you
My heart is still the same cripple it always was
Though my tongue has grown sharp
With the pounding of hatred's hammer on my skull
You took from me everything
Then watched me dangling
As I struggled to breathe
Hands clasping the rope around my neck
I called to you but you remained
Unmoved and ever the same
So I struggled until I was gone
Until I too fell through
Lost because of the promise I saw in you
You gave up on me love
Long before I ever knew
So I hope that your new love
At least means something more to you
Than I apparently ever did
