Beautiful Scars


I feel these cravings come from within
A desire to touch your delicate skin
The cuts were so deep, but you have overcome
Such beautiful scars they have become

I wish to touch your beautiful scars
Don't push me away
I wish to feel your beautiful scars
Please, don't dismay

You feel the same both outside and in
You feel uncomfortable in your own skin
Don't fret, my love, I'll still be here
I've made my intentions so very clear

I wish to touch your beautiful scars
Don't walk out the door
I wish to feel your beautiful scars
I don't wanna hurt anymore

It seems to me your scars run deep
Protecting your heart, your soul to keep
If you let me in, I'll take the pain
And make you complete and whole again

I wish to touch your beautiful scars
....I love you....
I wish to feel your beautiful scars
....I love you....
