Blessed Scars
Every scar she had seen and unseen
was because she didn’t read the lines in between
"Be careful what you wish for"
if not specific you may get more or less of what you bargained for
every scar had a tale even the ones in her head
she didn’t remember so well
she thought she had a lover and a friend
ignoring the sense she was letting the enemy in
sometimes unknown is the course of a nefarious source
they don’t always come by way of force
she was lured in under the guise that truth was a given
until the true reality had risen
he came with so many hidden demons
he trapped her in quicksand
taunted and abused her
while reaching out halfway with one hand
this is not what she asked for in a man
to be lured into a place of despair
trapped and tortured without a care
not to be defeated she got still within herself
put love away and got courage and strength off the shelf
once that was done she and the quicksand became one
and just because her eyes were closed
he figured he could get her off guard I suppose
just when he stood to kick her in
she pulled herself out by his leg and then he fell in
slowly sinking in his own quicksand
she stood there for a moment to catch her breath
and assess her scars
she got upset with herself because to get out of that trap was hard
but she was only there because she thought he cared
even though the signs were there
now she pays attention because of the scars she bares.
