So I gave this girl my heart and soul

I watched it go

Not fully understanding what it meant to do so

With hopes that what was then a friendship would be given a chance to grow

How immature and unwise I was

And now with a smile I remember all those times I was

Distracted by my fantasy of our intimacy

I was in love, or at least I thought I was

And although I smile now I still feel embarrassed

Because I couldn’t learn from my errors

I made them three times

Confessions at the wrong time, trying to change the timeline

And hoping that what was mine, in my head only

Would be made reality

Only to feel miserable all three times

My young mind couldn’t fathom my emotions

My mind has grown and it still can’t

Thoughts scream loud in my head

Forcing invisible blood out of the windows

The windows of my young soul

Someone sees the invisible now

Someone makes me feel invisible now

Someone else is invisible now

Fast forward to the visible now

The scar of L makes me question my sanity

The scar of O tries to answer my questions

The scar of V is of no use to me

The scar of E makes me question everything
