Let’s Talk Scars

Let’s Talk Scars

All the women I have ever loved

Or indeed

I have ever truly wanted

Without so much

As a single or a solitary exception

For in truth

There never really was

That many

Bear scars of one sort, or another

However, only some were visible

Let’s say public …

Whereas others were more covert

And yes, discrete

Some were deep and some more

Shallow

Some were broad and others narrow

Then there

Were those, all the weirdo’s and the wino’s

Would talk about in bars

The personal and the private ones, that is

Hey honey, let’s talk scars

Over breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea ..
