Scars Poem by Michael Stripp

Your always on my mind
Creeping in my thoughts
Tempting my control
Oh how I miss the way
You made me feel
The sensation of pain
The sigh of relief
You were my bitter medicine
Helping me get through the day
Making everything feel better
You were addicting though
I wanted more and more
Of that guaranteed release
But you also left me with scars
Scars that are permanent and
Always there to remind me
Of my past and how weak i was
But even though I’m through with you
You still remain toying with my mind
Oh how I wish I could erase you
And all those memories that
I now regret each day...
