I would travel across the dunes
Just to sit in your room
And you would sigh
As my fingers
Traced the patterns
Of your scars
And I would wonder to myself
Where those scars would take me
If they directed the journey
Like a map
The lines would guide us
Pointing us to destinations
Far off and away from here
But instead they are a lifeline
To your past
And I would sigh
For your scars are not an escape
They are the ties that bind us
To this terrible place

The dunes caught my attention. I live close to dunes. They shift and change with the weather and tides and people tramping on them. Beautiful poetry.
Nice write.
