distance

as i look down upon my skin
the faded scars have surfaced again
with new marks of pain on the face
of situations i'd rather not name
yet the thoughts continue to burden the game
what has torn away at my inner peace
yet the crimson drops never cease
to amaze me that is; yet for you i'd never again
also able to change within
to change the bad that has come out in me
to create everything you want me to be
washing away this pain from its core
heating up the fire indoors
to melt the cold that rests in you
my only life's value is true
because it is you.
