Takes Eternity to Fade (Original Poetry)
Every 'well-intended' word of yours Lashes yet another scar in my mind A scar that takes eternity to fade And when I'm covered in them You say "what's the big deal?" "You need to have thicker skin" Or the rare "Oh I didn't mean that" Pretty words, so beautifully crafted Absolutely useless to the rows of scars Not even slightly comforting or soothing, Let alone the fantasy of being understanding Nothing but superficial and scathing cover-ups Searing hot claws of precision ripping open the scars Gleefully rubbing plenty of salt into those ever fresh wounds Those scars never fade and your lashing tongue never hesitates The vicious chain never ends and the pain reigns supreme.
