Love is a scar.

A reminder of sacrifices,

Pain,

Justification,

Of something you will spend a lifetime

Trying to remember.

They say feelings are chemical reactions,

Brain dysfunctions,

A lost connection-

At sea.

As this bottled letter

Floats senselessly

Words drift.

Decorating the back

Of my eyelids.

Sleep tight,

they hum…

For these dreams will only

Wake you

Shake you

Break you

Until you can no longer

Remember the world

From the eyes of

The scar.
