Mementos

Uncompleted, but leaving as is for the time being.

See these scars

These nicks

These punctures

Mementos

Reminders

Souvenirs of junctures

One for a love lost

Two for no winner

Three as the cost

Of loving a sinner

Each is a memory

A bolt of pain

A desperate attempt

To stitch me up again

You can try and try

But I'll still come undone

The fraying bandages are just a symptom

Of this rat race we run.
