Scars

Everything has a life.

 

Three presences or absences of life, if you will

Were all put into being at the same time

 

They lay silently beside one another

Once boldly telling a story of despair

 

Two have all but faded, only a memory exists

One hangs on to life- Ironic really, when it was born as one tried to end

This is really interesting. I know my interpretation is probably way off, so forgive me, but to me the poem seemed to be about scars perhaps from a suicide attempt that serve as a reminder although they've faded. I thought that the fact that there were three really evoked the divine trinity, and we all know how one (the son) saved the world. Again forgive me if I'm way off, but I suppose poetry will always have different meanings to different people based on experiences.

Very well written. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
