scars

by Bedwyr Mclean - Leo

the page is turned, a fresh new start
deep purple scars inside her heart
what does it mean, where will she turn
absence merely makes her yearn
for what was once, but never more
to walk the earth, in pools of war
a lone dog barks, somewhere in the night
the orphaned child cries out in fright
the trees drip blood, the season turns
another poet by society spurned
can a tree outgrow a pot
or will the moth survive
to dwell among the living dead
withered
burned out
expired
why bother wasting time...
