In certain lights,
I could see the faint lines of my past in my skin.

To someone I had just met,
they wouldn't expect their existence.

And if someone touches my wrist,
Discomfort unfolds,
As if they were still fresh.
They would never know.

Sometimes,
I stare at them.
I stare at the life I once lived,
full of pain.
My eyes always water.
