One Thousand Scars
She was bleeding, pierced and bruised
To love she ran, but love refused
With a thousand ugly scars on her heart
Her smiles faded, her life fell apart
He gave her a red rose
As a sign of his love
But the thorns pierced her hands
The rose was filled with blood
She trembled as the drops
Stained her white dress
Her heartbeat dared her to stop
She was drowned with guilt; depressed
With a life full of hurt
From the very ones she loved
She prayed a prayer to the skies above
They answered her with the rain
She stood silently, feeling no pain
Her mistakes, her past were all forgotten
Her distress, her fears became nothing
She dropped the rose
She stopped the bleeding
Her dress was white
She was still breathing
She closed her eyes
For a second or two
Then opened them to see
She was somewhere new
Never again she would be alone
She left the strangers, she finally came home.
