Invisible Scars

Invisible Scars


It’s hard to say goodbye
When you don’t feel it’s time to let go
But life moves on, even when your heart doesn’t

As the loneliness seeps in
As I feel my heart pounding in my throat
I sit back and try not to remember

The words that were said still echo deafeningly in my head
I hear his voice in my ear
I imagine his breath playing across my face

Tears I can no longer feel spill from my eyes
From my heart
I can’t believe it’s come down to this

I’m not okay
If only I had the worlds to tell you
This pain, does it ever truly end?

I smile
But it only takes one smile to cover up a thousand tears
I feel so alone, so incomplete.

They don’t know how I’m hurting
Can’t see how hard it is to appear contented
They can’t see the scar that he left on me

Not all scars show
Not all wounds heal
But he’s gone, and no one can see the pain I’m in.
