Can I Kiss Away Your Scars?
Love, it breaks my heart
To know all your heartbreaks
And that you still haven’t forgiven
Yourself for those past mistakes
It made me cry
To hear that you haven’t cried
Since you were eleven
And your baby sister died
It infuriated me to find
That the man who
Was supposed to raise you
Never did anything but degrade you
And it hurt me so to know
The ways you hurt so young
With no one to stand for you
Or to tell them NO!
I wish I could have been there
To keep those monsters away
I wish I could have held you
And told you it would be okay
My dear one, stop fighting it
You are so worthy of love
Stop trying to make me let you go
I’m here, and I love you
So much more than you will ever know
