Love Scars

Everyone around could tell it was over

In my mind I knew it too

But my heart said otherwise

Despite the bad times, we had many good ones

My vows said till death do us part

Though you never really made me your wife

What do I tell my family?

What do I tell my friends?

What do I tell our unborn child?

Where do I find the dignity and strength

When everything I built, time invested and love is lost

But day by day

I will embrace  my battle scars

I will slowly  pick up the pieces of my broken heart

Maybe not at the same pace  you do

Maybe not the way you want me to

Don’t criticize me, please don’t judge

Love and support is all I need right now

I will make it – bounce back stronger than I ever was

I will love again – like I really never loved

Sometimes I feel so alone, though so many people are around

I will move on despite my fears, uncertainty, brokenness and doubts

But I will embrace my battle scars

The one’s on my self esteem, confidence and my heart

My love scars will heal as I move on

How I wish there was a cure for a broken heart….
