Scarred

Eyes mirror the soul
Its deep longing for love
Its dark shadows of pain
Reading life like a book.

Eyes mirror the soul
Its long yearning for life
Its dismal trail of tears
Reading life like a book.

Turn the page, all the way back
All the pain, the tears, the sorrow
Never to be forgotten!

Reflections of grief
Post-traumatic sorrow
Lament in your eyes
Cut deep in your heart.

Where’s the cure for a scarred heart?
Where’s salvation for past distress?
Will time heal all wounds?
Will seasons cease the aching?

Oh, tenderness caress
A scarred heart
Oh, love comfort
Past pains.

Turn that page, and accept the past
All the pain, the tears, the sorrow
It’s there, never to be forgotten
Your pain shouldn’t be forgotten!

Built upon the ashes of the darkness past
Lessons learned from the book of life
Gaze into eternity, with open eyes
Spread your phoenix wings, and fly!
