Scars Fade

memories fade, scars fade, but they never disappear. Don't try to forget your mistakes. Remember them so you don't make the same ones twice

It's like the time you told me
everything gets better
Did you know
I believed
I prayed
I lived for it
But the memories
are stuck forever
Its something you
can't just make it fade
 

Scars fade
But they never disappear
memories last
with their quite fear
At night they haunt
So you spend yourself
sleepless
They don't want to be forgotten
So just promise
You will never forget

It's like the time you swore to me
You would listen to my cry
Did you know
I cried all night
cried myself dry
I live for tomorrow
Thinking this time
it is better
This time I won't leave
another reminder

Scars fade
But they never disappear
memories last
with their quite fear
At night they haunt
So you spend yourself
sleepless
They don't want to be forgotten
So just promise
You will never forget

Scars fade
But they never disappear
Spend yourself
Sleepless again
haunted
Cause you were
fighting to forget

You can't wish it away
wish it to stay
Sometimes we stray
So now just lay
with eyes wide open
Just let me be
Don't make me
remember
Just don't let me
Forget

It's so true that memories and scars fade but never disappear. I went through two abusive marriages and still carry scars invisible to the naked eye. Sometimes it takes more than once to learn a valuable lesson. I just am glad to be alive and a survivor. I like the last two lines of your poem. "Don't make me remember, just don't let me forget." Sometimes it hurts to remember, and yet to forget may end up in repeating history...which I personally would not want to do. A very well written poem. Thank you for sharing. Debileah

This is great.
One thing.
quite should be quiet. [sry, was i suppose to ignore that]
Other than that, very eloquent. Great job.
I take that to mean, well what it obviously means. That you never fully get over tru pains. you have to remember, they're a part of life.
kudos

Seems so often we have to remember the bad to be able to truly appreciate the good. And I am with debileah, we don't need to repeat history, so don't let me forget rings true! Nice job on this.
