My scars hold the keys
Handcuffing you to my pain
Each scar fading with every day
But so are you my love
How much more can you take
I’ve dived deep into the depths of my mind
Bringing the pain of my past to the surface
Mending them one by one
I feel hopeful
As each key turns
It loosens the shackles around you

Each scar fading wirh every day
But so are you my love

Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).
If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.
If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our feedback guide, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.

This is beautiful, and far more relatable than it seems at first read. Everyone has experienced some trauma in their life and no matter what level of damage it has done there always remains that desire for love and connection. The fear that in healing with someone you are doing them damage. Great work, and thank you for sharing!
