Scratch

I'm like one of those walls.

you know the kind, you carve your name so people know you were there

just look at my arms,

my legs,

my back.

Filled with names

of people who loved

of people who hurt

of people who never cared

I'm scarred,

a scratched,

worthless piece

of what I used to be.

but you,

oh you, you are the one

who carved a hole straight through me

right through my chest,

a Fatal hit.

But don't worry,

everyone knows

you were here
