The scars that show
Some new, some old.
Over time may heal,
Or bleed for years to come.

The scars unseen,
Go often forgotten by those around.
The ones so deep that still bleed out.
For they rest on the heart,
A place hard to heal.
Once guarded from all who come near.

These scars on the heart,
Are the ones others left behind.
emotional scars that are now guarded.
Not to let others in again,
Only to leave new scars behind.

The walls that are built, 
To keep them out.
So as to protect this fragile heart,
From being hurt again.

It is a place where some fear to tread.
For they  fear to accept,
A heart with scars.
