Scar

I bid farewell to summer days

I say goodbye to wicked ways

I have resigned to trust my heart

To do what's right, sincere fresh start

Though it might not be just what I want

What might have been will always haunt

My sky is strange, my nights are worse

I'm not prepared to face this curse

Trouble bottled nice and neat

Ignored the lies and feigned belief

Benefit of endless doubt

Pushed away to go without

Tail between these weary legs

Walk away or face the shame

So much lost with nothing to show

The time has come to let it go.

No secrets in exchange for mine

Ignored, belittled, time after time

Excuses easy, I let them be

Each one stole a piece of me.

You'll never know the cost I paid

I never told, I simply stayed

Waiting, hoping, you'd finally see

What you thought game was sincerity.

Will you wonder what might have been

The chance now gone, never again

I see you now for what you are

Yet another ugly scar.
