Scars

My temple is covered in scars

Each scar telling a story

Though most of them are gory

None is more so than ours

 

The largest scar holds the key

To the reasons all the others be

No one but the two of us knows

How the true story goes

 

And so I covered the temple with scars

Attempting to hide the true tale

Then locked myself behind these bars

In the end to no avail.
