I look in the mirror
Trying to see what you saw
These marks on my skin I though they were flaws
"No!" You cried, kissing my jaw
Making your mark
With your lips
Your teeth
Your tongue
My heart was screaming
"He's the one."
Two weeks later
Now all that's left
Are these marks on my skin
And the lies that you catered
"You don't know me," you said
But whose fault is that?
I was swept off my feet
Now my heads hit the mat
I am angry, I try
I will fight, I scream
"I'm disinterested," was your reply
You shattered my dreams
Now I look in the mirror
And see who I am.
These marks are my armor
These freckles, my friend.
I know who I am,
I know WHOSE I am,
There is one who loves me truly
And He has a plan
So I lift up my head, I will not cower
Until the day
Someone climbs up my tower
One who will see my marks
Who will cherish my scars
And tell me the truth starkly
Of those he carries
One who loves Him
As much as I do
And will lead me to glory
My whole life through.
