When Will You Come Back Home?

It's been a while, but
we're still old
friends. With the scars
leading the way down faces,
past smiles, passed
over throats choking
on words, to hearts broken
by days of silence.
It's been a while, but
we're still
old friends.

let me encourage you when you read this to go line by line. I focused on form on this and when you realize the certain style, it takes on a different meaning. Thanks for taking time to read this.

Interesting use of words. Your poem is like a double-edged blade, twice as powerful than the norm. Did you intend for "on words, to hearts broken" to be a pun to "onwards to hearts broken"?

As assassin shouldn't fall in love.
