Scars
He was a hero.
He was lifted upon people's shoulders.
the saviour of the world.
but his scars had broken him.
the scars that were still burning.
the scars that nobody could see.
the scars that burned with loss.
the scars that burned with pain and hurt.
the scars that burned with the lost souls of the war.
the scars that had broken him.
the scars that tortured him.
he dreamed of the scars.
the scars that would be there forever.
the scars that he couldn't see
the scars that wouldn't leave him alone.
