Scars

Here I am in the darkness, from where even shadows depart,
For no matter what we do, there is no new start
All we can do is stitch back the bleeding heart.
Stay strong , survive, learn to not fall apart.

Darkness, i no longer fear, it is but, now an ally,
Been the only constant throughout without a single good bye
So familiar, that light seems unwanted,
My heart seems stitched, but still haunted.

To Hold still, my face a light smile, try
Fake beyond measure, but not entirely a lie,
I try to sit straight, strong and to never cry
Yet, Tears, to escape their closed cages often try.

Alas! The scarred heart still reads,
Stories of faith, love and care
The demon on my spirit, feeds,
Yet, my strength this will never tear.
