How Many Scars

 

How many scars
before the stars?
How many nights
alone and cold?

We’ve climbed so high,
my love and I,
To touch the crescent
in the sky.

Each scar a step,
each tear a mile.
Now, we sit and smile
and the world’s asleep.

The dark that held us for so long
point to where we now belong:
Up there, among the dreams.
Our scars now constellations.

From depths of night
to heights above,
We’re here finally:
this ledge, this love.
