Scars That Whisper

Scars that whisper. This is mostly inspired from recent journaling and understanding that since leaving (my ex) I'm at a stage where I'm too scared to trust the happiness and calm I feel.

I know it's not logical but it's definitely something I am working through.

You stand at dawn, new hope in view,
Yet doubt is cast in every hue.
The happiness that dawns anew,
Feels fragile, like the morning dew.

In shadows long where darkness lay,
A heart once bruised now seeks the day.
A past entwined with pain’s cruel art,
Leaves scars that whisper, "Do not start."

In tender arms, in laughter’s song,
A haunting fear that love’s a wrong.
To trust this peace, to dare to dream,
Feels like a step in a swift stream.

Your heart, once battered, seeks to soar,
But fears the hurt it knew before.
A trembling soul, so scared to trust,
In joy that seems like fragile dust.

Can you embrace the light you see,
Or will old ghosts not let you be?
To move, to breathe, to trust again,
Is courage wrought from deepest pain.

Oh, tender heart, be kind and brave,
Let new love heal, let new love save.
For happiness, though frail it seems,
Is found in hope, and in your dreams.

As courage comes in steady waves,
To free the soul from past’s dark caves.
A whispered truth, a gentle hand,
Can guide the heart to safer land.

Step forward now, despite the past,
For life's too precious, joy too vast.
Embrace the love that’s come your way,
And let the fear of shadows sway.

Embrace the now, the peace you feel,
Let new love's touch help you heal.
For though the past still casts its shade,
In love and light, be unafraid.
