The scars return day after day
At night they seldom go away
The deepest sleep gives some respite
From tears that fall night after night
Liquid pain upon my skin
Each memory, newly begin
Burning so deep, they shall remain
Upon my flesh ever ingrained

Thanks young lady! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I just loved the flow of this for such a sad poem. I guess it creates the illusion of beauty for so much sorrow.
