In the depths of my soul, a scar remains
A constant reminder of the pain that remains
A wound that's open, raw and exposed
A reminder of the love that's been lost

The memories linger, like autumn leaves
Faded and worn, yet still they grieve
The ache within, a heavy heart
A longing to mend, to never depart

Time may heal, but it's slow and cold
As the wound festers, growing old
I search for solace, a gentle hand
To soothe the pain, to calm the land

But like the wind that blows so free
My heart is restless, wild and carefree
It searches for peace, a peaceful shore
Where the waves of sorrow crash no more

But until then, I'll hold on tight
To the love that's gone, to the light
And though the wound is open wide
I'll learn to heal, to step inside
