To find comfort in this skin
As sunlight embraces me
No longer hiding the parts
I was afraid to see
The bruises have faded
But the scars remain
And every time you said
It would be different
It was always the same
My strength hibernated
With that Winter
As the distance
Between us grew thinner
Love was just a four letter word
You used to possess me and
Your cries to harm yourself
Were to silence mine of help
Like dead trees
Creating new leaves
That Spring
Taught me
Everything
How to rebuild
From the rubble
Bask in the light
Believe in myself to
Grow wild and free.
