please forgive my awkward response
to your kindness
i’m so accustomed to drowning
the little girl inside me
as i had taken to mating with reptiles
because i am a damaged woman
who does not believe she deserves warmth
it’s so much easier to be with someone hateful
rather than acknowledge all along
you have needed to be loved
One reply on “warm in the sun”
it’s like standing in the mirror. & seeing.
