Leaving Scars

We met at the county fair, lights so bright,

Your laugh was my world, a perfect night.

By the riverbank, we carved our names,

Now it's just a memory, the love we couldn't tame.

You left your sweater on the old porch swing,

Every time I see it, memories sting.

We danced in the barn, our boots kicking dust,

Now it's all shattered, buried under rust.

Oh, leaving scars, tearing me apart,

Ripping the seams of this broken heart.

An unforgettable breakup in the night,

Now I'm left lonely, whispering goodbyes.

The smell of your perfume still lingers here,

Mixed with the smell of cheap bar room beer.

The echo of our song on the old jukebox,

Spins like a record, still my world rocks.

I drive past your house, the paint chipping away,

Each peeling layer, memories of that day.

The lock on your heart—no key fits me right,

Midnight shadows whispering, this ain't gone be alright.

Your letters in the drawer, faded ink,

Promises broken make my heart sink.

By the fields of golden wheat, we used to roam,

Now I'm just a ghost in this heartbroken home.
