Pulling Scars

***'
For years things seemed to be what they're not
For years the wounds ran deeper and deeper
A pain that that would be unbearable for me
A pain that should have torn us apart

I pulled the scars along Your back that made you scream out loud
Yet Your love for me is stronger than I could have ever dare dream about
A love that binds us together
A love that lasts forever

For years I heard You scream but chose to neglect it
For years I saw you cry but chose not to wipe away your tears
Running away, ashamed of my own feelings
But running away only made things worse

Right after I pulled those scars in Your back,
Right after You fell face-down in the dust,
Right after Your tears caused the dust turn to dirt,
You smile at me with Your loving eyes
Saying: 'Please give me your anger and pain'
And I cannot stop going on
This love I cannot understand
