Childhood Scar

She looks out
The wintry window
With a heart full of screams
That no one can hear.

Yesterday goodbyes
And departing words to memorize
Fall from the eyes of her mind
Like summer tears
On a lonely beach.

Puzzling predicaments
And ex-lovers to resent
Pile up like autumn leaves
From vanquished and barren trees
In the grey desert of the city.

What have I done to myself
To drown in such a girl
Until nothing is left to notice
Of who I was but a childhood scar
That never disappears?
