Invisible Scar - 07/24/2022

There’s an invisible scar in my body that will always remember you. No matter the day, no matter the time, no matter the age, no matter the rhyme, you’ll always be there. I’ll always feel your unspoken goodbye, it’s in me, forever, it doesn’t leave my side. This invisible scar, it’s weightless, transparent, however--impenetrable. This invisible scar is intangible, as it hides in me so well, but sometimes, oh how it oozes, and stretches, and retracts, with my every move. 

Sometimes I can live with my invisible scar, but sometimes I can hardly breathe, I can hardly move, I can hardly see. This invisible scar at times is my friend, and at times is my foe. This time, it’s neither, as it’s stagnant...and I just don’t know where to move.
