Love Scars Poem by Philip St. Cyr

My eyes were closed as if blinded...
blinded by the love
which I held for you in my heart
I loved you, and you were my first, true love
so my mind was closed to the fact
that you did not feel the same in return
so despite how hard I tried to please you,
you left me and left a scar on my heart
but even though I thought I needed you,
I would survive;
because I knew,
that you took the love from my heart with you
So then the wound on my heart would heal.
