[Words: John Brenner]



Your scars remain before my eyes

Even those you choose not to reveal

Sensitive enough to yet bring tears

A burden of grief that I cannot ease



Dejectedly I sit and stare

Feeling all of my wounds afresh

Deep they reach into repressed

Feelings which I ever hoped to hide



Driven to our self-inflicted pain

And compelled to re-live again

All of our vulnerable yesterdays

Thus we cope in our different ways



Who can tell me where to hide

What will make you whole inside

Most things I know will never change

Especially not the ones we wish

I torture myself

For I haven't any answers

So in despair we continue on

Fearful of another sunrise

Of another harmful dream
