Some scars never heal
And this is one that never will
There is no rainbow, under the clouds
I have no way of backing out now
You are the reason I cry at night
And the emptiness I feel inside
You can't take back what you did
Behind those lying eyes you hid
It's as if you don't exist
And now dear father, I love you died on my lips
You took the one thing that made me safe
And broke my will to live in this space
As they say some scars never heal
But they give you the strength to stop the tears
I have the will to get past the pain
And I know now that to you I love you was just a game

Very dark, hard write. You are right, some scars don't heal, but hopefully the person is able to mend them to tolerable and go on. Thank you for entering the contest, good luck.

definately relate to this one.
sometimes we try our best to get over things, but we don't have it in our hearts anymore.
wounds may heal but emotional scars may never, sometimes we've just had too many of them to cover up. -
wow
