Scars

Cuts sometimes they don’t heal,
The scars are still there left as bad memories lingering
On your skin, in your mind
The pain stays to remind you
Bad decisions,
Wrong turns,
Misplaced trust
They won’t leave no matter what you do
The wound can heal, the pain can fade
But they’re still there
As marks and lines
They’ll never leave.
