Scar Tissue

Scar Tissue

A Poem by Jessalynn
"

Poem about a scared heart

"
You left a scar on my heart
It beats
Keeping time for my soul
It beats
But it works a little harder now
It aches
Like an old wound in winter
It aches
In the early morning hours
It burns
With the remnants of potential
It yearns
For a moment more with you
It hurts
It’s not your fault I wasn’t honest
It f*****g hurts
I suppose we match now

Powerful and amazing flow of emotion dear Jessalynn.
Like an old wound in winter
"It aches
In the early morning hours
It burns
With the remnants of potential
It yearns"
The above lines. We shall learn and with time. Become less painful. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

An excellent work, from the emotional resonance of the dull and persistent ache for a lost love, the ache that never seems to fade- and yet, the abrupt change of tone in the final lines seem to show the realization that perhaps our memory of the relationship is over romanticized, perhaps in truth, there were issues on both sides that simply would not resolve.

I get these feelings. I really do. Feeling like this makes a person not want a serious relationship again. Unless that special one comes back. Hmmmm

I didn't feel you were being "satirical" within this poem so when I read, "But it works a little harder now" -
little harder? could be stronger maybe?
