    These Scars are Valleys

     These scars are valleys
    In which my blood did flow
    The razors that forged them
    Now stained with my soul's glow

    These wounds shall ever haunt me
    Close to escape was I
    And though I tried to stop it
    Time keeps passing by

    My sanguine tears continue
    This heart proceeds to break
    As I lay down to slumber
    I pray I never wake

    To leave this world behind
    Is my one desire
    There is no song within me
    And nothing does inspire

    And so I leave you freely
    Without ill regret
    Shall I be remembered
    Or too soon will you forget

    Cast my ashes out to sea
    Let me drift away
    And now these scars I open
    I've nothing left to say

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
