Scared of the Scar

It took much more than a moment
For the essence of it all to sink
To realise what I had just agreed to
My mind wasted, it took too long to think

There was jubilation all around
Friends throwing their heads back to laugh
And an uncomfortably silent corner
Of a man covered whole in his scarf

We both knew what we had done
We both realised that the show must go on
With no intention to ruin the moment
We stopped the honest truth that could dawn

The night went fine and we had our laughs
No one worried about tomorrow
The two of us stayed up all night
Hoping against hope for some joys to borrow
