BEAUTIFUL SCARS

BEAUTIFUL SCARS

SPOKEN WORD POETRY

I lied when I said I don’t want you

I lied when I said I don’t miss you

I lied when I said I don’t need you

I lied when I said I wanted to forget you

But in my mind you left that beautiful scar

Even if I tried to hate you

I found myself falling in love again

Finding you was one of my greatest joys in life

 For in you

I journeyed, explored and learned

New sites and destinations

You are this beautiful scar that sparkles on my body

Each time I think of you

Though you left a mark

That I can’t erase

Just tattooed on my heart

I can’t seem to get mad at you

I cherish the beauty marks that

You planted on my body

That keeps reminding me

What we shared in a row

I remembered the day

 You walked away

It really did hurt me

 ‘Cause you were the last person

I expected to walk away

 But yet gave me a chance to find him

Spent sleepless nights thinking

I was the one who screwed us

Forgetting I needed to let you go.

I blamed fate asking myself

Why did it have to bring me to you?

Only to tear us apart

Yet didn’t thinking that it was just a lane

I had to walk through in finding him

Am sorry l just realized it now,

That among the scars in my body

You are the most beautiful scar

Ever tattooed on my heart

For I needed to lose you to find him
