just something - not one of my best - inspired by a few poems i've read here on poetbay from such exceptionally talented poets.


Scars forever unseen [until it's too late]

how can we say such words
if we don't really mean them?

Sorry -
when it's too late,
because your soul feels guilty
and your left consumed with self-hate?

I love you -
because you're too scared to be alone?
when it's only words without true emotion
it is worse deception as it cuts through the bone.

If you came with false words and lies
saying words you didn't really mean,
then you realise - too late -
that your lies hurt worse then the truth,
because for many
those scars lie forever unseen -
on the soul..

...until it's too late and they are gone.

Scars on the soul can sometimes be a lot worse than scars on the skin...I've heard a quote, but I don't know the author

"Which is better,
The lie that draws the smile
Or the truth that draws the tears?"

All in all, the truth. Because eventually the lie will disintegrate...
