I.
This is a result of,
Failed relationship.
Located here is,
A friend turning back.
Seen here in this spot,
Malicious witness.
This prominent mark,
The abandonment.
II.
I carry many scars,
Some deeper, more visible.
Each denotes place, event;
All left by those held dear.

About John White
I've written off and on my entire life. It took years for me to finally take putting words together seriously. Now it's not, nor does it ever feel, like work. Writing daily has become habitual. No day is complete without words having appeared on the page.
But how they help you write!
True! Without some hard living and the scars to show for it, I’d have a lot less to write about.
Its very true, then only love hurts, but no more so than the absence if it, wishing you Peace Joy & much Love x
That’s a great point. Maybe even living without the occasional pain or scars it leaves, would make life less rewarding and fulfilling. Love can hurt when its lost but being without it would remove much of the meaning of life.
There are also scars you can’t see. I love this poem.
Thank you! Those unseen scars can take the longest to heal. Great to meet you!
Scars have names? Most definitely…
I’ve considered having the names tattooed on but then I think better of it. Thanks for the comment! Great to meet you!
You too! Don’t you just love this Land of Blog?!?!? π
I’ve been active on this blog since the summer and I’ve heard from and talked to far more people than I ever dreamed. It’s been rewarding and quite the experience.
Nice! That one spot with infinite implications, powerful image.
Thank you so much! The scars can seem infinite. Great to meet you!

Thank you, Laz! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I look forward to more from you as well!
My scars are way too numerous to ever name, yet I know what you mean. If I could name them, I probably would.
Thanks, Julia! Mine carry the names of those responsible for the wounds that led to scars.
The last line…. Yeah. Our guard is down.
Exactly! Making it easier for them to inflict another wound.
I’ve always written about how scars have stories, but never names. Thanks for giving me a new outlook on scars. π
You’re welcome and thank you for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s great to meet you!
Great to meet you too, fellow poet! π
