our own scars

truth

what is it

heart

you are breaking

I am forsaking you

this much I know

I do not understand

the ways of the world any more

and the search for love

only ends up taking us down dead ends

until we find the answers within

I can share with you

but you are not me

you cannot take away my pain

that is my job

you cannot heal my life

it was never in your hands

and so don’t lay a trip on me

for we can only be who we are

and we can only wear

our own scars
