dVerse Poets Prosery

Looking a little bit through her lyrics I did not choose one from her latest record even if its name is *“The Tortured Poets Department”* (which could almost be a name for a poetry site like ours).
Instead I found this line
***“You drew stars around my scars”***
from the song Cardigan taken from her record Folklore.

You should write a piece of prose including the given line which you may punctuate or break up if you want, but every word in the same order has to be included in a piece of prose (fiction or non-fiction) of maximum 144 word (or if you want to challenge yourself exactly 144 words).

When you have written your prose/story, post it to your blog, link back to dVerse, enter the link to your blog-post to Mr Linky below and join me and the others reading and commenting on the other stories. It’s a blast actually so remember having fun.

I didn’t realize at the time, what others might think of my looks. Before I had the illness, I felt pretty much okay with a small one. Never thinking I would find myself disrobing except for an X-ray, and not planning to be with a lover again, it wasn’t on my mind. And then, I met you. Recuperating and wanting an outlet for my time, I met you. You told me you loved me and were so romantic, something even though married many years, I never had that side of love. I finally admitted my health concerns and was surprised when it didn’t seem to matter. “You drew stars around my scars” and I’ll always be grateful.
