Smooth Skin

Smooth skin
Once, but
No more.
Criss-crossed
Raised lines
Patterned
Scarring.
One month
Two months
Or three...
Scars all
Still seen
Because
They fade
Never.

Silent
Tokens,
They scream.
Long past
Healing,
They burn.

Never
Forget,
They say.
Never
Forget
The pain.
Never
Forget
The loss.
Look down,
They scream.
You will
Never
Forget.
Run your
Hand down
Your arm.
You will
Never
Forget.

Life will
Go on
God still
Forgives.
But scars
Don't fade.
