      His battle scars always scared them away, The wounds which reflected his past and pains. They'd flock away without any shame, Not asking questions, to learn any of the truths. Claimed as a broken and scarred man, Unworthy of their time. They never saw the little actions you performed, The way you would bend down and pick up a toy, And hand it over to that crying little girl. The way your smile lit up and brought her joy, They didn't care that you'd always make her day. I loved you and the story your scar proclaimed, Of how the marking on your cheek made you a perfect man. Selfless and strong, someone without regret or shame. Every time I saw it I kissed it softly, As I whispered of my love for you. Of how you were my hero, Fighting in battles not your own, To protect us from any harm.

'See past his scars, to the heart of him,
For scars only reflect upon what we've gone through, not what we've become.'
