my scars
do not define
who i am
but define
the reasons why
i am
who i am
how could
someone
hate
and
despise
me
so much
when
I've
never
even
talked to
them?

I
guess it
must be
me

oni
I
love me for who i am
love the pen marks
on my hands
love the scars
along my thighs
love me for who i am
you were my rock
my stable being
my beloved
my breath in my lungs
the main reason i was still here

until one day
you left
out of the blue


and i am still here
living in my own sadness
and you still haunt
torture me even
and still seem to speak to me
like a whisper in the wind
how could someone just leave your life
and act like it never happened?

oh yeah.

it means they never cared in the first place.

oni
the cuts
fade to scars
quickly
but the scars
remain
indefinitely
  Jan 2015 my scars don't define me
oni
and all those times
you kissed me
you were just
putting your
thumb
over my
lips
