Place My Hand On Your Darkest Scar
You keep crawling back into your nightmares-
Looking for reasons for the pain,
To stop a pain without an answer.
Place my hand on your darkest scar, so I can hear you, see you, feel you,
Keep you near—only for a moment,
This moment of your contentment.
Every feeling and emotion you have ever felt is still in you,
The memories fade, feelings get confused,
You want to crawl back.
Crawl back to hold on to the nightmare.
Why?
Why you; why them; why me?
Hold on,
Don’t stray too far.
Keep my hand on your darkest scar.
Your heart and spirit fight for you.
The nightmare keeps a hold,
Scream, cry, lash out, act out,
but its grip is getting weaker.
For this moment,
For this day,
Stay with me and heal for a while.
Place your hand on my darkest scar,
I have nightmares too.
