"All the while as I traced her spine. You tore up my head, through my peace of mind."
I can't get this song out of my head. Ironically, it's about not being able to get someone out of your head.
Your mind is a funny thing isn't it? It plays tricks on you, doesn't it?
I had a conversation, in the early hours of the morning, with a friend about how she can't bring herself to let go. She needs him in her life, even if she knows that it's not good for her.
That's the thing. People leave their mark. Sometimes it's just a smudge that someone can just rub off, the way your mom did when you were a kid.
Sometimes, they scar and no matter how hard you scrub, it doesn't wash away.
It may fade, but it's there and some days it's shows more than you'd like it to, but it's a good thing.
Without that scar, you might forget. Forgetting means letting go of a piece of yourself. No matter how scarred that piece is, you need it.
