comparing scars

comparing scars Pulling my heart out from its hiding place
from high up on the shelf of my memories
    where I usually keep it hidden
I feel almost ashamed that it is
not as worn and scarred as yours
    but I understand that underneath
        the wounds your heart bears
    is a tenderness so sublime that
it may melt me
into the tears of a heaven
    you cannot yet see
