My fingers trace along the scars
And memories flood my mind
I wonder how can I miss something
But at the same time, want to leave it behind
I remember the overwhelming emotion
The pain that caused my soul to ache
And I remember the relief that would come
Right when I thought I would break
It feels good not to rely on my blade
I know it’s right to quit
Sometimes when I’m feeling really strong
I know I can live my life without it
But for so long it was my release
And sometimes I miss it very much
I can’t help but wonder
How long I’ll survive without its touch
As I trace my fingers along the scars
I pray this desire will last
That no matter what I face
I can leave this in my past
