Scarred

Yet another one that I wrote. This was written when I was feeling slightly depressed. Enjoy!


Renwen

She smiles for the pictures
Laughs at all the jokes
Hides the pain inside

The people then leave
One by one
Wishing her well

She sighs as she walks back in
She fondles the ribbons
Caresses the cards

Her hair is let down
The dress is hung up
The make-up washed off

She opens a drawer
Sits down on her bed
Looks down at her arm

Each year has been marked
Each year has been remembered

Holding the blade
She makes one more mark

The years go by
Each leaving a mark
In remembrance of her life

O_o Sorry, but the words in your head are getting annoyed that you can't find a way to get them expressed, so they're coming to me for some help. ;-) :P
But seriously, I really can't help it if one of my moments of mental depression somehow hit home for you. :-/
