Sweet White Lies

Scars

To the world,
So bold and open;
But I could see,
How much he was broken.
Not a single emotion,
His face revealed;
The scars remain,
Even if the wounds are healed.

The pain may be gone,
But the burn still lasts;
A hateful remainder,
Of his haunting past.
His cold demeanour,
Was all a facade.
Darkness was his refuge,
Darkness was his solace.

Away from the world,
Alone he cried;
His pain and sufferings,
He wanted to hide.
His heart was broken,
So was his trust;
Broken beyond repair,
His compassion reduced to dust.

Stabbed in the back,
His conscience did mourn;
They toyed with his feelings,
They turned his heart into stone.
His trust was abused,
His innocence was gone;
In this cruel world,
He was all alone.
