I am begging to know
Why those scars are so intricately laced
Upon your beautiful skin.

Because you are the first
That I have found in a very long time
Whose scars matched mine.

I keep thinking about
How you hug me and your mouth
Accidentally touches my neck.

Maybe this is because
You know it is futile to deny that we are scars
To each other -- Just not as visible
As the ones on our skin.
