Scars

There's a scar that no one sees.

Only I can feel it bleeding,

And only you know it's there.

We don't need to acknowledge it

That won't change the past

Looking at a wound never healed it anyways.

But,

If I say it's O.K., will that make you stay?

Can a lie push our problems out of the way?

If I say I forgive you, will that make the pain go away?

Can a simple lie salvage what's left of me anyways?

Can we turn back the clock to the days of innocence?

Or am I just spouting nonsense?
