Poetry: Hard times

by Shaina Merrick

Created on: June 27, 2009

map to a secret treasure



and if you trace these scars
across her skin
you'll find the things
she left unsaid

if you look into her eyes
and find them cold
shes thinking of the things
she gave up
for him.


these scars are like a map
leading towards her destiny
the deeper she traces the line
the closer to her treasure

shes tired now
their fights don't stop
shes lost her trust in love

they say its done
that they give up
but she knows inside its hard
to lose a boy
when they were once
so in love
