Hard Times

Scars

I should have checked you for your scars.

After all my suffering, I realized that you...

Don't have any...

Only if I knew from the beginning that you didn't have any scars.

Maybe then I would have realized that you have no experience.

And with no experience comes a great deal of pain to bear from the one with experience because I have my scars, and they can make you happy, but at the sight of my scars, the inexperienced one would only fear me.

Now...

You have left me with more scars for the next person to see.

Did I leave a scar on you?

Or during that whole time was I just sitting there while you cut me with your knife, was just a waist of time.

Because I thought maybe while you were cutting me with your knife, you had something in mind, form your own experiences that scars that I have not seen. So I let you destroy me.

But I was wrong. I should have checked for your scars from the beginning. Because I would not have had to sit through all that torture for nothing.
