Sandalwood Days of Love

How can I ever heal?

--

In the sandalwood days of love,
sometimes I thought
I could leave all my pain behind.

Move on,
stop scratching my scars and
let them heal.

Eventually forget they ever existed,
in a blissful reality,
where the past didn’t haunt me.

But alas,
my past has shaped me,
my past is my reality,
my past is me.

How can I ever heal?
