Unseen Scars Poem by Samantha Campbell

Unseen Scars



You Died a year ago today,

You left me broken
and wounded without
the pleasure of a scar
that others can see.

How do you stitch a soul
or bandage a broken heart?

Its hidden in me
just below
the surface
of my skin.

I'm a vessel,
a container of scars
and broken things.

An unseen
universe of tears
I'm an ocean
EMPTY
But I hold
the all the possiblites
of life.
