A/N: I don't own the characters, just the poem.
Those scars are from the pain
The times you felt weak
So you carved them
Bit by bit ripripripping apart your flesh
Shredding your flawless skin
Bleeding out the anger
.
Let me see those scars,
Love,
I won't judge you for them
I know you feel guilty
I know you feel hurt
But let me see you as you are
Let me prove to you that I love you
Jagged lines and all
.
Because those scars are never going to heal
With perfect symmetry
And you're never going to be perfect
But, baby,
Let me kiss them
Let me make it better
.
You're weary
Aren't you?
All this fighting is wearing you down
Taking you apart
Brick by brick
Until you are standing there
Unclothed
Naked in my eyes
Because your shield isn't up
I'm seeing you just the way you are
And I love you for having the courage to show me
Y o u r s e l f
.
I'm trying to carve into you
To leave an imprint
But on your heart, honey
I want to brand love into your heart
So with every beat
Every pump that sustains your life
You remember me
.
You cut yourself to take away the pain
But the scarlet your arms weep isn't helping
Is it?
So try something new
Try me
Because I'll hold you tightly
And I'll pry your fingers away from the knife
And I'll love you like nobody else ever could
And I'll be there
A.l.w.a.y.s
