Beautiful scar I saw a chasm in my skin A deluge A mount of Venus The angels took their hands And forced upon my palm a deeper meaning I saw it bleed I felt the pain No head line can account for this No love line can amount to this No lifeline No imperfect star Only knives Sharpened by whetstone And gleaming with meaning As they steady carve your name into my salt You were the razor I was the skin You were my love I swear to god Even the tears you shed found a way to cut me Cut me deep And I bleed your touch My screaming nerves my fragile flesh My paper skin I offer up In all my wounds I know your heart And as I heal I know your hope It is a line on soft tissue A forever A beautiful scar
