Scars and Blossoms (Reimagined)

Each soul bears its burdens, each heart hides a scar

I'm laden with failings like stones in a jar

I long that you'll want me and stand by my side

That your gentle presence my sorrows would guide

I'm weary and hollow, the darkness has grown

I wish I had courage to not be alone

Oh, you softly shimmer, so pure and so bright

Like dawn's gentle whisper that banishes night

I'm scarred from past evenings of faltered romance

From hopes that lay broken, from prayers with no chance

Your glow is a blossom that banishes gloom

While I drag these memories that silently loom

I pray you choose me, heal my wounded view

I pray you love me, as I find love in you

Each mind finds a compass, each heart has its truth

Our visions diverge since the days of our youth

We ponder existence—worlds vast and profound

Yet I crave a union where both souls are bound

To stand on one pathway, no longer alone

To break through this silence that chills to the bone

Oh, you softly shimmer, so pure and so bright

Like dawn's gentle whisper that banishes night

I'm scarred from past evenings of faltered romance

From hopes that lay broken, from prayers with no chance

Your glow is a blossom that banishes gloom

While I drag these memories that silently loom

I pray you choose me, heal my wounded view

I pray you love me, as I find love in you

I hope you can teach me the dance of two hearts

To show me what loving together imparts

I hope you'll accept all the flaws that I bring

As we wander through life on one tender string

Come walk by my shoulder, we'll brave every mile

In rivers of passion, we'll learn how to smile

I've never known true love, I've never been sure

I sang to the heavens, my longing so pure

Perhaps what I feel now, this warmth that's so new

Is love gently blooming, unmasked before you

Though you might have shadows you cleverly hide

I fear a swift ending, yet pray you'll abide

Oh, you softly shimmer, so pure and so bright

Like dawn's gentle whisper that banishes night

I'm scarred from past evenings of faltered romance

From hopes that lay broken, from prayers with no chance

Your glow is a blossom that banishes gloom

While I drag these memories that silently loom

I pray you choose me, heal my wounded view

I pray you love me, as I find love in you
