Scars

You see the scar on my leg?
That's from a brush burn. 

You see the scar on my knee?
I fell and scraped it. 

You see the scar on my foot?
It's from falling down my steps. 

You see the scar under my finger nail?
That's from smashing my finger in a car door in 3rd grade.

You see the scar on my face?
That's from chicken pox when I was little. 

You see all these scars, but there's just one problem. 

The biggest scar is somewhere that's easy describe, but hard to notice. 

Its the deepest scar I have gotten, so far.

You know where that is? 

On my heart. 

The one scar that no one can see;
Unless you take time to search for it. 

That scar is the reason I'm afraid to fall.

That scar is the reason I'm afraid to ever love again. 

That scar is the scar that has done the most damage. 

Damage that not even surgery can fix.  

But, eventually I hope to meet someone that
Will make the pain of that scar fade, 

And all the damage will be erased.
