Another scar

With you gone

I feel so lost

I had no idea

That such a short time

Could have such a cost

I fight through the pain

Trying to find myself again

Hoping I can make it through today

I know that harsh words create fractures

I had no idea how fast we would shatter

How quickly you would turn from me

As if I never mattered

Even though the pain is raw

At least I saw who you really are

Now I just carry another scar

    This is a powerful and raw expression of heartbreak and betrayal. It movingly captures the shock of a sudden loss and the painful clarity that comes with seeing someone’s true nature. The final line, “Now I just carry another scar,” is a quiet, resilient acknowledgment of the pain endured and the strength it takes to keep going.
