The Scar

There was a girl,

With a scar on her hand

Her hair had a slight curl,

And color as golden as sand

Behind the scar was a story,

Of a bump in her memory lane

It was a memory of an old glory,

That ended with severe pain

The scar was on her hand but actually,

Its source was deep inside

Deep, and as effective as it could ever be

Deep, yet incredibly hard to hide

She showed no sign of defeat;

Neither anger nor sorrow

Her heart wasn't his to complete

Nor was his to borrow

That scar was a gift from him

To mark that she was his

To mark his newest whim

The scar...what is this?

It's a paper cut, drops of blood

From a valentine's day card

A paper cut caused endless tears; a flood

Not just broken, it left her scarred

Yet, her hair is still as golden

Her smile is still as wide

She's broken yet still holding,

To that precious gift that is her pride
