Sitonicsa - Emotional Scars

No
No, no
I keep your letters in my memory box
Buried in a plastic crack behind a chest
Of drawers
Every promise has a little note.
Weighs
More than the hands that gave it to me
I learned to smile when the room got quiet
Learned to leave before the door could close
Now every promise starts to arrive
And the part of me nobody knows but
I am not the girl you broke.
No.
I
Keep my ghost outside the edge of light
These emotional scars still call my name
But they don't get to choose my way.
I
Carry the mark.
I carry the flame and
I am learning to love again.
Slowly slowly
I open my heart.
Piece by piece i
Begin to heal
These emotional scars are part of my skin
Not the ending.
I am living in some days are harder than the first night
Some memories not like they still belong
I put fresh sheets over yesterday
And pitch my heart a different
Where the bruise began
She held my silence never asked me why
There is a future
I can finally plan
With both my feet beneath the widest sky
I am not the girl you broke.
No, I am
Healing from all the hurt you cause to these emotional scars.
Still call my name
But they don't get to choose my way.
I
Carry the marks.
I carry the flame and
I am learning to love again.
Slowly slowly
I open my heart.
Piece by piece i
Begin to heal
These emotional scars are part of my skin
Not the ending.
I am living in
If I tremble
Let me tremble
If I pause
Let me breathe.
Healing is not a
Straight line
It is finding peace from all these most
Choose my way.
Hey, I carry the marks.
I
Carry the flame and
I am learning to love again.
Slowly slowly
I open my heart.
Piece by piece i
Begin to heal
These emotional scars are my skin
Not the ending
I am living in
Happy ending
I am living
Not the ending
