Bloody Scar

A prominent scar hidden by the ticking of time
Lost on others but burns in my mind
Memories flood back with but a fingers touch
Slowly losing my mind as the scar becomes bloody once again

    WOW . . . its strong and short it makes me think of somethings

  • I've actually written a poem quite similar to this. A bit longer though. lol. But I actually like that you kept it short. We write such long poems that tell us these ellaborate stories,(Of which case, I can guilty on) but you tell it in just four lines. And leave it to the reader to figure out the rest. I like it.

    youre amazing

  • The first line confuses me. How can you be prominent and hidden? I really like the way the second line flows. “With but a fingers touch” is leaning a bit towards the cliché, do you think you could try to reword it? In the last line, I think you meant “losing.” You said “the” twice. Can scars become bloody? I thought that a scar was when a wound heals, something that just serves as a reminder? Or am I to assume from the poem that the author caused it bleed again—in which case, I think that needs to be made more clear.

    This is just my humble opinion :]

      'Hidden by the ticking of time' is a play on words... maning that I use a watch to hide the scars that mark my wrist.
      Thank you for the comment on the rest, I did change the errors, but the rest will remain tthe same. Your opinion is welcomed.

      • It makes a lot more sense when you explain it like that. Maybe if you said "a prominent scar, hidden..." it would've come across a little better. But thank you for clearing that up, either way.
